Re: [AlpacaTalk] sick cria necropsy

 

Oh, man. I'm so sorry about your boy. And your instincts were right. 

The poor grieving mama is always a hard one to deal with. They always look at you, expecting you to bring back their baby. It's a bit heartbreaking. 

Best wishes,

Heather

After the necropsy and seeing the wood and big plug between his stomach c1 & 2.  It appears that the hay and some fiber wrapped around the wood and made a really hard ball about the size of a marble. There was nothing short of a major surgery that would have saved him if that.  It is so nice knowing what happened.   Even if it passed thru the stomach area it would not have passed thru the spiral colon.  He was in big trouble and there was nothing we could of done.  Lord know why he ate wood or how he even swallowed that piece of it but he did.    I have no regrets on our end we did what we could and loved him as much as we could and cared for him and made him as comfortable as we could.   Now we are dealing with a very sad mom who just lost her first cria and she is breaking my heart.   Robin  Richard and Robin Vasquez  R & R Ranch LLC 325B Denio Avenue  Gilroy,CA 95020 Phone: 408-842-5233/ Cell 408-710-0676/710-7911          A Ranch of Distinction www.LoveThemAlpacas.com                           LTA
