[AlpacaTalk] fighting teeth
hi all - i just received a very simple and effective solution for dealing with fighting teeth - the source is a woman who has had a large number of alpacas for over 10 years (her animals are show-stoppers) - she said a large dog toenail clipper works really well to take the tip off without running the risk of cracking the tooth
this sounds better to me than some of the alternatives.
just thought i'd pass it along.
we got our girls' toennails done on the weekend, none of them would stand for it so we were down in the mud but we got it done - we had a unexpected source of help - our 16 year old grandson made a "thanksgiving visit" (probably thought grandma would be cooking) and he brought his 15 year old cousin - they agreed to help, much to my surprise (grandson has never been willing to get too close to the alpacas before) and before they left for home in a neighboring town, all the girls were done.
the ongoing conversations have been a great source of information for me - and it is really reassuring to know i am not the only one facing issues that bother me
the deaths of the adults and crias are heart-wrenching to read about - i wish i could reach out with a hug - i will never forget the story about Charlie Brown - i cant imagine anyone treating an animal or it's owners that way - it's beyond disgusting -
In unity
