Re: [AlpacaTalk] RE: Swelling
Hi Janice,
I'm sure that the Arnica is the same. The label says Arnica montana
so I wrote it that way to be as clear as possible. I put the pellets
in the mouth and gently hold it closed. Alpacas don't really want
them in their mouths and will spit them out. The Bioron pellets have
the med on the outside so 30 seconds will do the trick. The Hylands
brand is solid, easily melting pellets and should be melted or
swallowed if possible.
How's the cria doing?
