RE: [Alpacasite] We have a new vet and could use a little help

Gary,

I might suggest that you (and any other breeders in your area) get together
and offer to pay for the vet to to the symposium. Also, I recently got the
2nd edition of Norm Evans' Field Guide (it's very good), and that would be a
good gift for her. Just think---it would certainly benefit you in the long
run. I am doing this for my own vet.

Just ideas...

Subject: [Alpacasite] We have a new vet and could use a little help

We've had significant problems getting an alpaca vet in our area.
All of our local vets have busy small animal practices and the one
vet we have that will work on alpacas has been harder and harder to
get out for ranch visits and is even hard to get scheduled for
office visits. Getting her out for an emergency is "cross your
fingers".

A new large animal vet has joined our local practice and has some
minimal experience with llamas. I'm asking the group to help me
encourage this new vet to learn more about alpacas. We're in the
process of trying to get her to attend a nearby 2 day vet symposium.

I've read many posts consisting of information from handouts and non-
copy-write protected material. If you have such material and are
willing to send me a copy, please reply privately by email (
gary@greystonemanor.biz ) and send it, (email if you have it
electronically). I'll screen for duplicates and collect it (and or
print the electronic formats) for delivery to our new vet.

If anyone has old copies or duplicates of copy-write protected
material, I'd like to hear about them. If I'm offered duplicates, I
will do an update post listing what is available and try to put the
donor and whoever wants it together.

Also if people have URLs (links) to non-copy-write protected
material that hey think would be useful for a new alpaca vet, I will
download it and put it on a disk for her.

Thanks,
May all of your cria be healthy, prize winners with 10+ pound
