It looks better but this is day 3 of LA200 shots. She does appear to be feeling better but then again, she is an Alpaca, so one really never knows how they feel......at least, I don't.....
We kept all our goats horns......I think it is a personal preference
We haven't had any issues but would probably not remove horns unless it was necessary.
We have seen blood after breeding but not regularly. FF mostly. We have one large Kandahar Buck that mates our bigger girls and we have several smaller bucks to mate our smaller girls. Blood can mean several things, not all bad.
Donkeys do not "bag up" very much at all. We have had 2 baby Donkeys in the last 3 months and they are too precious for words!
Meet Baby River and his Momma, Mavis....River was born May 15th.
And then, Baby LeeLou and her Momma, Mai'zee. LeeLou was born August 13th.
Neither Momma bagged before...
No worries! I will order some to have it on hand. We are giving her a shot of LA200 for 5 days and see how she does.
And now Pearl has pinkeye again!
We are going to work on expanding their shed and prep them for winter.
We did hoofcare on the goats yesterday and it went very well! Since we...
Well, lots of goings on here!! DH teaches a year long Beginning Beekeeping Class and 2 of our students lost their homes during Laura. Please say a prayer for them and their families. We have 2 other students who have Churches that have Disaster Recovery teams nearby so it has worked out for...

I don't have Llamas, but I do have Alpacas. We use monthly Ivermectin shots for Mworms and every 3rd month we wait for 2 weeks after their monthly Ivermectin shot and give them Cydectin for other worms that may be a cross over from our goats.
Ok, and update....on Tuesday, we caught and treated for Mworm with monthly Ivermectin shot. Cass' ear WAS warmer and a little swollen. After much arguing with her, I found several ticks in her ear. She whistled and hummed repeatedly to let me know how disgusted she was with me but we slowly and...
The ear does not feel warmer than the other, no drooping of face, lips, eyes or problems with her lid. She not acting any differently than her normal self. No punctures that I could feel....her hair is growning so unable to see through the fiber but I I touched her ear all over and all around...
1. Cass has her left ear laid back and will not use it. We have examined it but see no issues inside or outside.
2. Midnight is losing hair on her legs in random spots. It doesn't appear to hurt her but it is all the way to the skin. We have examined the area around each spot but see nothing...
