alpacas: Re: [AlpacaTalk] Help Please

Oh, one more thing just came to mind, and it should have been obvious to me. Get some sort of fly/lice/insect treatment, either an herbal one. or something like Cylence or Atroban or something like that, and spray it on the are where you've seen the eggs.

I'd be careful of the actual umbilicus until it's good and dry and sealed, though.

This past Thursday I had a snow white blue eyed male cria born. Everything has been going terrific until this evening when I was giving him his evening pet and rubbing I felt knots in fiber on his stomach, when I investigated it was FLY EGGS!! Immediately checked for wounds or dried blood and checked his navel for infection. Nothing. So I combed out the eggs and spray both mama an cria with on herbal fly spray, retreated the navel with betadine. Is there anything else I should do? What on earth would cause this to happen? I would really appreciate any advice on this. Jim
