Re: [AlpacaTalk] fertility questions

 

My first guess would be a low grade uterine infection.  If they get pregnant (which it sounds like she is) and is unable to hold it that usually is a uterine infection.  A uterine culture would let you know if that was the case.
I heard that spit off 1st week = ovulation, 2nd week = conception, 3rd week = implantation.
Good luck,  I am messing with a few girls that are being difficult in the pregnancy dept also. Fortunately that is not the norm.

First, you'll need to have a reproductive exam done by your vet. I need to have one done on one of my girls, who produced several live healthy crias before I got her, but since she's been at my farm has aborted twins in the first trimester 3 times in a row, in the last year and a half. 

After the vet exam, I think no matter what the results are, since you (and I) have not had a live cria from our female, look at the contract. Usually the recourse is return of the female and a replacement or refund. In my case, refund would be return of the animal I traded.

We have a female that has been bred several times and has yet to produce a cria. She has never had one prior to our purchasing her. She spits the boys off for the first 6 - 8 weeks even if they just come close to the fence line near her but after that will cush again. 

Are there specific tests that is recommended to be done on her to see if she is capable of holding a pregnancy? Is there anything that can be done to help her hold the pregnancy? She's not been stressed at all during this time frame. Any and all info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Marsha
