Re: [AlpacaTalk] ear trouble
Could it possibly be ear ticks? We are using liquid Ivermectin with a little mineral oil in ears to kill the ticks.You can not see them they are too deep in the ear.I recommend you do some research on line about these ticks.I have to friends that have lost alpacas this year to these ticks.The female seems to be the poison one.I would check it out and see if the symptoms are what your alpaca is having.I found lots of info on line.Good luck.Always,T

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] ear trouble
One of my guys has been holding his rt ear at a 90 degree angle for a
few days now. I have looked into it and see nothing. I have felt it
all over and feel nothing. It doesn't seem to hurt him. I put boric
acid in it which is my ear treatment for dogs and cats and will kill
mites, but that didn't help. Short of calling the vet, whom we just
had out for an eye injury that I am still trying to pay off, I don't
know what else to do.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks! Janice
