[AlpacaTalk] sick cria
hi - what's the heat like where you are? We're having the worst heat wave since 1941 and my six week old cria, Marino, got dehydrated - i thought we were going to lose him, even his mama had walked away from him - i spray his belly and legs with the hose to keep him cool, feed him pedialyte with a syringe every 1/2 hour and give him a bit of lama-pro vitamin paste twice a day - he is up and about now, nursing, and active - still not breathng quite right but seems to be improving each day - this heat is a real killer, i've never seen anything like it.. Our vet only comes into the valley on Wednesdays so i will have him come and check his breathing for me - but until then, it's just me and Marino.
good luck with your cria - i hope there's a vet close by for you.
