[AlpacaTalk] Re: Teeth-REALLY Horrible Sounds
Chuck thank you for your concern,
If I was hearing these sounds in an adult they would
see the Vet the next day the same with this cria when
I first heard it, but the Vet cannot see a real cause
for this (sound) behavior.
So, Next stop Washington State University Vet School,
I guess because this cannot go on. The cria is now
10-11 weeks old and has been doing this for most of
that time.
Health-good, size-normal range, and weight-
just a tiny bit low - but within normal range.
I have not ruled out anything: parasites, deformity,
you name it nothing left to do but bring in the
big ($$$) guns.
