Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: skin ointment

Ok. I'm going through my photo library to find all pics of my boy
with the horrible mite condition. I will be putting together a quick
web page for this, to show how he looked when I got him, after
treating with Witches Brew (you'll be shocked) and after treatment
with Frontline topical and Ovitrol Spray.

I'll post the link in a bit, after it's posted. Should be maybe 20
minutes or so...
