[AlpacaTalk] getting rid of dry skin & lice eggs
Hi,
I have another fiber-related question for those of you who are more
knowledgeable than myself. I just finished treating my gelding alpaca (and
the rest of our herd) for an infestation of lice. After shearing two months
ago, I noticed that his fleece (only his) had lice eggs. We used a lice
powder for cattle and other livestock- two treatments two weeks apart. I
checked his fleece over tonight (on the animal, not what was shorn), and
couldn't find any living lice (nothing moving around), just lots of dry skin
(flaking off) and what might be dead lice eggs. Is there any way to get rid
of this, other than shearing him again this summer (not really an option- I
have no one who can shear him)? Also, what are the chances that lice will
re-infest an animal in my herd, now that they have been introduced? Thanks
for any help you can give. Emaly Leak
