Re: [AlpacaTalk] more on gucky eyes

Wendy,

Ignore my last email. I have had no success along those lines, but I
have just found a website that I think you may find very helpful. This
is the URL http://www.shagbarkridge.com/info/vet.html I just googled
alpacas health medical eyes, and there are a couple of veterinary sites
that could hopefully offer you some information at the least at to what
it might be.

If his eye is going cloudy my only concern is speed, as he would not
want to lose the sight in it. Best of luck Wendy,
Best Wishes
