Re: [AlpacaTalk] cria with wobbly head
I would give some Arnica Montana homeopathic remedy. We give it to dams and crias after delivery, most especially for difficult ones. It can take quite a while for babies to recover from a hard delivery, and we've found that the Arnica really speeds up recovery.
I have a male cria born a month ago who has a wobbly head. The vet looked at him and said he has "inflammatory cells" in one eye and that this might be caused by a problem with the way information goes from the eyes to the brain. He is healthy and thriving otherwise. He will be given vitamin B shots to see if anything changes. The vet couldn't say whether it might be genetic or congenital. The cria was born on a 98 degree day. Might that have something to do with it? Please let me know if you have seen or heard of anything like this before.
