Re: [AlpacaTalk] ARGGHHH
OB wire: I purchase it from valleyvet.com It comes in a little spool
of 11 yards for about $12, free freight.
We also prefer not to use Corid unless we have a recurrence of
coccidia after treating with Albon. We get Albon liquid from our vet.
It is also available from Valley Vet:

for the gallon size 12.5%. It can either be mixed in the water or
dosed orally.
Oregon State also recommends the 40% injectible suspension given by
mouth 1cc per 30 lbs of alpaca body weight.

This article is specifically speaking to E. mac, but we prefer to use
Albon over Corid, as Coridd is a thiaminase, which means it depletes
or binds thiamine so that the coccidia can't reproduce, However, it
also depletes it from the alpaca, and can cause PEM, which you really
don't want to have to deal with.
If for some reason you don't get a digest, instead of asking people
to re-post, you can visit the group website and see all the posts
there. Just follow the link that says "Visit Your Group"
