[AlpacaTalk] Re: Lumpy Jaw

Hi Janice -thanks for answering my post. I was quite distressed
when I posted it - but a few days in and seeing my girl
acting "normal" has helped. I will try and source the Goldenseal -
can't imagine why they wouldn't ship it to NZ as long as they have
my VISA number!!

I have purchased some feed supplements locally to try to regain her
condition and have spent alot of time watching her - she is now up
and about and eating grass like the others - maybe not getting as
much with each bite though.

I gave her 5ml of Vit B too which really seemed to perk her up.

Given NZ's farming history it seems vets here come accross this
disease in cattle quite often and mostly they say "treatment often
ineffective" - so what you say fits - we are in for the long haul
with antibiotics/draining etc. She is in her third year of life so
maybe the bugs got it with the teeth coming through?

Thanks!
