RE: [AlpacaTalk] RE: Aggressive male

 

            No necropsy………didn’t even think of it and it’s too late, now.  If he had any health issues, I was totally unaware.  He was eating and drinking ok.

Tooth grinding is often a sign of pain. He may have had a condition of some kind that caused him pain and could account for the aggression... Did you plan to have a necropsy done? I guess you know the cause of death, but it may shed some light into any health issues he may have had.

 

Best wishes to you,

Thanks for the condolences.  Yes, we had hoped to use him for breeding in the future.   We still have the two younger males that we hope to use someday.  He had a beautiful fleece and size on him.  Wonderfully straight back and legs. 

 

The grinding of his teeth really got to me.  We had a male guinea pig that would grind his teeth when agitated and that is what it reminded me of. 

 

I haven’t found anything on it.  Is the grinding common?
