RE: [AlpacaTalk] Help identifying blob found in pasture
I would suspect the dam that birthed. They will have this several days post delivery. Very normal, just the body cleaning up after the delivery. We just had 3 birth the 1st and the 2nd, they just expelled the same thing. Sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't as the tail will catch it.
Hope this helps, Peggy.

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] Help identifying blob found in pasture
Both yesterday morning and this morning, we found a pinkish white blob, about an oz. that feels sort of "meaty". We are pretty sure it's not tape worms. I'm wondering if it's the mucous plug of a near-term dam, or something else? We have 3 due in that pasture between mid-September and mid-October.
Finding one yesterday we just figured that's probably what it was, but then finding the same exact thing this AM makes us wonder. It's in an area where one of my dams usually "does her morning job" and but she birthed on 8/30. Could it be something from this birth? We checked everyone's behinds with nothing of evidence found.
Thanks for your thoughts.
