[AlpacaTalk] Re: Seems I have a question already......

 

Roses is a good description. It is a very lovely sweet smell. Sometimes the whole barn can smell sweet. Love it!

If healthy the only time it smells foul is if they regurgitate to spit.If they are ill the breath will smell soured from lack of rumination. Watch your alpacas to see if they are chewing their cud....If they are not chewing their cud something is wrong.Probios won't hurt a thing and can certainly help the tummy.....good luck!

Our alpacas breath usually smells like roses, literally, if they have a healthy rumen and aren't sick. Oniony smells reminds me of sulphur, which is often not a good smell for the rumen.
