[Alpacasite] Re: showing juveniles with out removing amniotic fleece

Hey, Peace. And to you Dr Ruthann also.

I was just conveyeing information given to me at the neonatal
clinic. I'm sure Dr Jones would be happy to answer your questions.
He is at Northwest Alpacas every Monday, last I heard.

Shot the message, not the messenger.

the death of a cria born on a very cold day from hypothermia before
we could get it into the barn and dry. I certainly wish that one had
been shrink-wrapped! Please explain to me what makes them wet, if it
isn't amniotic fluid.
