Well, okay then. I need another blog like I need a hole in the head. I haven't been keeping up with EatingWildMontana, which is where I need to be. But here goes nothing. Really. I'll try to get this stuff written up occasionally, but you may want to check out EatingWildMontana.com for my...

Llorelei is doing terrific. I've been keeping her in the barn to keep warm but she's been ransacking the place (we have a pile of trash we need to move out and she knocks that all over), trying to get in all the grain, and turning the lights on and off. Her hair is growing back and she's fat...

I am actually happy she put up enough of a fuss to try to bite. Got to be alive to be angry enough to bite.

Thanks. If I had been on my toes more, I might have been able to save the four boys. It sickens me that I had to bury so many this year. I guess if you take anything from this, don't trust what vets say. Even so called experts in the area. I had to correct a vet on what actually worked on...

Thank you. We've both nearly burst into tears seeing her standing up. My thought now is to make sure she's solid before decreasing all the injections. Poor thing. She must feel like a pincushion with 2-4 shots a day and stuff shoved in her mouth. No wonder she wants nothing to do with me...

I have a loose llama running around my barn now! :celebrate Llorelei got mad at me for giving her a shot. First, she tried to bite me. Then, she got up and went to the hay bales and started eating. Every time I approached to put down water or give food she moved off. She wants to stay on...

Thanks. I lost 4 llamas to this, including my trained packing llamas. :( I pretty much have to start from scratch. This so sucks big time. Ah well, I am lucky I have Llorelei so far.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Thanks. :hugs

Folks, I hope this isn't too spammy for you. With all the headaches with epe, I haven't posted about my publishing company's audiobook raffle going on. Basically, we're giving away one copy each of our top five audiobooks: The Lost Enforcer, Modern Sorcery, Acheron Highway, Samurai Son, and...

More good news. Last night around 3:30 am I left Llorelei facing the back of the barn by the turkey pen. Today, my husband found her 20 feet away at the front of the barn facing the door. So, she moved big time. She wants to go back to the pen with the goats, but she's too weak. But the...

Well, guardedly good news! Guess who stood up for the FIRST TIME since early December?:weee Llorelei wanted to get up and managed to get her front legs straightened out enough to stand. I held her vertical for maybe 30 seconds while she worked on keeping herself up. When she finally had...

I suspect not, but their kicks look about the equivalent of a cow's kick with less weight behind it.

Just a tiny bit bigger. I can just barely move her while she's down. Getting kicked by her isn't something I'm looking forward to but I'm expecting because of all the shots. Getting kicked by goats is laughable by comparison.

Well, she's about 150-200 lbs, and luckily gaining weight every day. :fl A little heavy for our barn rafters. She is moving, which is very good. I caught her moving in the barn. She walks with her hind legs and walks on her front knee joint. She gets out of her poop (good) and has been...

She's been down about 2 weeks. Yes, a long time. I have tried to help her up, but she isn't having any of that just yet. She is moving around though. We're talking she moved eight feet from her previous position yesterday. I may have to do some massaging of her legs to get them back in good...

Thanks, Everyone, I appreciate your words. What has really gotten me mad about the vet is the lack of caring. I mean, I've never known a vet to not call with lab results, especially if I call several times. Nine days was too long. I'm still guardedly optimistic on Llorelei who is moving...

Last night was tough. Terry died. He died with food in his mouth. How messed up is that? :he I finally have some answers, though not the ones that will point to the problem. After NINE days of calling the vet for lab results (NINE! I ended up calling after hours and got the vet on call who...

You can never really get rid of mycoplasmas (isn't that lovely?) but you can beat them back. Apparently it is a real problem in camelids that nobody talks about in the US mainly because camelids have been misdiagnosed for years because it mimics so many other diseases. Also, there is only one...

Last night Terry was too weak to get up. :barnie Actually, I kind of been expecting this because he had been losing weight. Felt backwards, and yet now that I have him in the barn, I can stuff him full of hay and grain. I can also get a fair idea of how he is doing. Both llamas got their...
