I only have eight!  I will give it a try!  I'll find out what size we have and go from there!   Thank you for the pep talk!'

How many alpacas do you have? You can give Ivomec shots SQ with a 1/2" needle, quick and easy and even alone. It's better if you can halter and restrain them a bit, but with a 1/2" needle, if you stick and push, quickly, from what I hear it's very effective. 

I'm very squeamish about giving shots, too. but I have summoned the courage to do it. I can give SQ or IM shots if I have to. And if I can do it, I think you can, too.

And it's strange, because I can cut open and lavage abscesses no problem, and clear sebaceous cysts with no hesitation at all.

Okay, please don't be too hard on me! We have goats, couple cows and pigs. My husband is busy with worming and such with them. I want to be able to worm my alpacas so he doesn't have to. However, I can't give injections! I've tried on the goats and pigs and I'm just too nervous! Is their anything put there I can use that is not injectable?!
Thanks for any info!
