[AlpacaTalk] Snots
We have had a case of the snots here, but no pneumonia fortunately. About 6 or 7 alpacas have gotten it in different degrees. They seem to be clearing it on their own. It may be corona virus which is basically untreatable. It appeared suddenly, so I am guessing that it came from face flies carrying it from the deer or from cattle that are a mile away or more. This bug can also cause diarrhea. Some alpacas or llamas might get a secondary infection such as a bacterial pneumonia which is what you are probably experiencing Wendy.

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] pneumonia in alpaca
I have 8 alpacas and 8 llamas. I brought home 2 pregnant llamas about
10 days ago. After about 6 days my alpacas and llamas got runny noses.
I had my vet check them (he is more of a cattle vet but does know some
about alpacas) and he said to wait and see if they go off of their
feed. I went out yesterday and had a girl off of her feed and laying
down breathing hard, runny eyes and nose. I also had a male llama with
the same symptoms. My vet came out and gave me Nufor? 3 cc/100 lbs. I
asked him if I should dose all of my alpacas and llamas and he said to
wait until they go off of their food. My girl alpaca is better today,
my llama not so good. Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem
or what you would suggest about going ahead and dosing my other animals?
Thank you,
Wendy
