[AlpacaTalk] RE: goopy eyes
<<<<hi Janice - i've found the tannen (sp?) in luke warm black tea works
really well for wiping out goopy eyes where there is no injury - i'm
glad your little girl is still full of energy and attitude
Wendy>>>>
Thanks Wendy, that's a good idea. I have been using the very dilute
goldenseal (very dilute because it is an alcohol extraction) to wipe out
her eyes the past few days, just in case there was an injury or
infection, and they are getting better. My first thought was a hay
scratch as she lays in the hay while mama is eating. But I can't get
her still long enough for me to actually look at her eye. She is just
all kicking legs; even with my dd holding her she is still kicking up a
storm and squirming like crazy, so the best I can do is hit her eye with
a wet wipe soaked in goldenseal. I did get some the dilute solution in
her eye yesterday with an eyedropper. Boy did she get mad.
As soon as I am not doing anything unpleasant to her I am going to start
putting my baby halter on her for a bit during mom's mid afternoon extra
feeding as we take them in the barn for that so I can check the cria.
Hopefully eventually she will ease up on her human dislike. But with
all I have done to her I can't say I blame her :-).
<<<<Hi Janice, great to hear she's gaining--and nicely too! That's
probably why you can't get anything out of mom, Merry's sucked her dry
:)>>>>>
I think you may be right Morgen! I'm just thankful I am not having to
bottle OR tube feed her!! What a relief.
Warmly, Janice
