If vit. b helped....probably a thiamine deficiency problem.
Alpacas are smart and you must prove to them that you're not going to hurt them. You can't wait around for them to warm up to you. You have to catch them in a small area, start by holding them just until they stop resisting, then gently push them away. Each time slightly increase the time you hold them and stroke their neck as they relax....then push them away. You're in control, they realize they can't escape and you're still the one in control as you push them away.
They will figure out that it's not all that bad being caught and they should learn to tolorate it if you do it daily for a couple of weeks. Just catching them for something unpleasant reinforces negative attitudes toward you.
Good luck with them!

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government........... Thomas Jefferson
