[AlpacaTalk] Viccoyo

 

hi everyone -  Viccoyo is physically well, the vet cleaned her out, gave her various forms of anti-biotics and left bottles of B vitamins, more antibiotics and selenium for her - she will receive follow-up meds for three weeks and then once a month til we can get some weight on her -

 

we got quite a jolt this afternoon when we arrived home from work - there was Viccoyo nursing a tiny cria - both of them quite contented, off by themselves.  We were looking at each other in disbelief

 

Another one of our girls, Amber, had given birth, and then as Amber has always been a disinterested mom, she was quite happy to let Viccoyo take over. In the past we have had to force Amber to bond with her baby, as she is not very maternal.

 

So there we were, tending to the new BABY GIRL, and running around shifting animals into different pens etc to get everybody organized - Viccoyo is grieving for her baby but we have put our Matriarch, another old girl, in with her to keep her company - we can feed her up in the small pen and give her shots etc - keep an eye on her - Baby girl (named Sointula) is in with her own mom who has accepted her and is nursing her

 

i know this is a long post but it has just been such an emotional day - thanks everyone for all the support - and Judith you saved my sanity this morning - thanks for being online so early
