Re: [AlpacaTalk] holistic treatments..... was pneumonia in alpaca
Just a quick note in reference to DE for parasite control. It has been
studied by many (Dr. Pugh, for one) and proven completely irrelevant and
useless for internal parasite control. Feeding DE and counting on parasite
control is asking for death. Fecal checks and appropriate anthelmintics are
the only proven reliable method.
