[AlpacaTalk] Re: female acting "funny"

 

I hope all is well with your girl but it might be worth it to have her checked for a torsion or a possible breach this appears to be too close to her due day for it to be something you should blow-off. - Which I know you are not.- On the good side the cria may have been turning making ready for an exit. Keep checking her Temperature and making sure she is Drinking and Eatting but most of all do what you are doing -> watching for signs that she is "Just a little, Off."

You said the male was taken out of the field last December -- When was he put in?
She could be one of the early breedings .

Good luck.
