[AlpacaTalk] re: Need a new perspective- update
My thanks to those who emailed and called :))
Vet came out, her cervix is nice and tight, no torsion and no softening. We think it is the cria's position- that it is pressing on the nerves back there and making her very uncomfortable. Hopefully the cria will reposition before the birth, it looks to be a big one- she has had a 20 lb cria before, and she is not a big girl- size wise that is.
My vet has VERY big hands, I am always amazed at how gentle he is and how he can get those hands in those, er... small places! I am so glad we found this vet, horse vet for 30 years, and willing to learn all about alpacas and llamas, *and* get the rest of his vet staff involved too. Now we have a choice of 4 vets in that office, and they will all see alpacas. They wouldn't in the begriming of the 'wooing' process :))
We gave her a cocktail before the exam and she took it like a champ! We are following Dr. Evan's protocol for this situation, with Banamine and walking. She is textbook spot on for this type of problem, makes a good point to get the updated versions of Evan's book- mine doesn't have this section.
Since the exam she hasn't done it again, but she is sort of stoned right now LOL!
Will keep y'all up to date.
Slainte~
