[AlpacaTalk] Virus Update
The reports continue to come in, and this includes NEW infections and
outbreaks. Here is an email I received this morning
"Got home from OABA Sunday night, our 3 year old male got suddenly
ill Monday night with frothing of mouth, snots, and respiratory
distress. He made it through the night but... We're very concerned
about him. His stall mate, 13-month-old male, this am has nasal
discharge, no temp. None of the females sick yet."
For every report I am sent I have reports, from reliable sources, of
several more. This includes deaths, and animals in University
hospitals. Please go to www.AlpacaWatch.
