RE: [AlpacaTalk] birthing question
Wendy, how sad! I'm so sorry! On a positive note, being as old as she is and as thin as you say then it's probably for the better. Poor old girl! Sad for you both.

Wendy, I have to run out on some errands that need to be done but feel free to call me on my cell if you want to talk! (716) 499-0383. Good luck; I'll be thinking of you and Viccoyo, poor gal. At least if she's not acting uncomfortable, the baby's not in a bad position even if it may be breech. She'd be screaming if something was hung up inside.

hi Judith - i called the vet and he will be here in an hour - Viccoyo doesn't seem distressed and lays down to eat hay in between standing and having contractions
but the vet said "breech" when i described the situation - unfortunately we don't have a vet in town and he is coming from a distance - luckily it is his day to visit the valley, as he only comes once a week
this poor girl is so thin - i don't know how much energy she has for birthing - or for feeding a baby if all works out well
it is SO GOOD to have someone to talk to about this - i'm a nervous wreck - thanks so much for responding
I'll let you know what happens

Wendy, I'd call the vet. That may herald a breech birth. I've only seen it once, and it was followed by a normal delivery but it isn't typical and I'd get veterinary input ASAP.

hi - i recently took in a 15 (or so) year old alpaca so she could retire here - once we sheared her saturday we realized she is pregnant - she is skin and bones and the sweetest thing ever
this morning she went into labor, an hour ago - there is a sack hanging out and some dripping - i have never seen this - our babies have just been born head and feet showing first and then the normal procedure - she is walking around with this sack hanging there - has anyone experienced this??? do we need to do something immediately? ?
please advise if anyone is online -
thanks so much
wendy
