Re: [AlpacaTalk] Sick Cria

 

Mom has lots of milk and is a really good mom.  He is just not feeling well enough to want to nurse. He will only drink water and has started not wanting that too. Poor little guy I think he is in big trouble.

Was doing fine yesterday. This morning weak, lethargic not nursing. He is drinking lots of water. He is unsteady on his feet. Acts like he has a tummy ache. Seems to be constipated. We gave him 10 cc of Karo syrup, gatorade and two small warm water enema's. He passes the water enemas after about 30 minutes but it is just water no stool. He still is not interested in nursing but he will walk to the water and drink. He prefers to lay down but will walk a bit. No fever. Any ideas on what else we should do. My thoughts are he got dehydrated yesterday playing and it has caused a chain reaction. I am pleased he is drinking water but am concerned about him not being able to pass any stool and not nursing. He did pass urine twice so far. Ideas? Robin Vasquez R & R Ranch Gilroy, CA 408-842-5233
