Re: [AlpacaTalk] shivering dam
A bit of calcium wouldn't hurt. A friend of ours had a dam who did have milk fever several years ago. Just don't give too much. The dam of mine that I mentioned had an insanely high calcium level.

Ellie:I asked the vet specifically about that and he says NO -- they don't make enough milk to cause that. On the other hand, I do have a tube of calcium paste in the cabinet and was thinking about it. I guess I could try calling Ruthanne, but hate to bother her at Nationals. Heading back out now to see how things are going with her......I really don't want to drive to Columbus with her.......again, it's a stress thing that I hate to put her through at this point. At the same time, she's a doll and bred to a nice boy......and I do love her dearly, though no hugs lately due to the nasty late term pregnancy syndrome!thanks so much for your suggestion! It was the one thing that occurred to me that could be easily fixable, but vet says no........but then I don't always trust the docs.......shame on me, but also helps me learn!Susan
