Re: [AlpacaTalk] RE: Merry Morning
Since she's already 4 days old, the umbilicus ought to be ok,
especially with the goldenseal dip. I hate to admit, sometimes we
don't get the dip done, and we haven't had problems because of that.
I would reconsider your M-worm strategy, though. From what I've heard
lately, Dectomax isn't considered as effective as Ivomec, and it
should be administered every month without fail. Safeguard is not
effective against M-worm at all, it's only for intestinal parasites.
So exciting to have a new cria! Who do you think the sire is, then?
Oooo, that reminds me, I have to get my boy registered soon!
Best wishes to you, and congratulations!
