Re: [AlpacaTalk] Swollen jaw - red ants?
Janice,
I don't know if you're interested in alternative therapies for your
alpacas, but we use homeopathy all of the time. For swelling from
insects you can use Apis mellifica and/or Arnica montana. For an
abscess give Silicea daily. Nu-Stock works very well for abscesses.
It's a pasty cream that has sulphur and other ingredients and it
works really well.
Best of luck,
