Re: [AlpacaTalk] My Boy Won't Eat Grain - Help!
Hmm. I agree also that checking for EPE is in order. And having a
blood panel done. The ultrasound of the spleen is still in my mind,
we lost a cria who had a clean blood panel, but had a bacterial
infection in her spleen, caused the liver to rupture. Fecals and
bloods came back normal.
She also stopped gaining, lost interest in pellets but did eat plenty
of hay.
