Re: [AlpacaTalk] Do you give your alpacas yearly rabie shots?
I do. I live in an area where a lot of wildlife passes through our pastures - usually small stuff like 'possums, skunks and raccoons, but occasionally larger animals like foxes, and of course one always worries about stray dogs. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I've seen my herd surround small critters - probably just out of curiosity, and a couple of my females have tried to stomp stray cats, so you never know just how much interaction there might be between your herd and wildlife or strays. Another hazard might be if a 'possum or 'coon tried to take shelter in the barn during the winter. I know my next-door neighbors who have a dairy farm often find and shoot wildlife in their barns or storage buildings, so it's always on my mind. I know there's some question as to whether there is any need for annual injections or whether 3-year injections would suffice. At this point, since the vets prefer to innoculate annually, I just have it done. Who knows? It might be the best $2 I spend all year!
