RE: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Grooming chute

 

Perhaps you can halter her and tie her to to a post so she can not rear up while you give the shot. Poor thing sounds traumatized. Flossie

The issue is not so much turning away from me as this animal Rears up and bucks and I cannot hold her down and give the shot.
She is so panicky that she will go over a 4 1/2 foot panel.
I did not cause this behavior I received her this way and am slowly trying to gain trust. In the meantime I still need to do meds and trim.
