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

 

Wild onion shoots will make their breath smell like that and as far as I know, they are completely safe to eat.  My horses were boarded at a place that had them and they ate them all the time.  I don't know what you are feeding your alpacas to get their breath to smell so good, but almost all of our alpacas' have bad breath - I know because they try to sniff and kiss me all the time.  Pewey.  LOL

I wouldn't say roses quite describes the smell of paca breath...lol.   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!

I don't recall having encountered this before, but it might be a good idea to go through your pastures and see if you indeed have onions or garlic growing.  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. 


Maybe some probios would be a good idea, just in case. :)

When our alpacas come up to us thier breath smells like "scallions". I'm assuming we have some out in the pasture and they must be eating them. Is that okay?

I googled and read that onions were okay but I wanted to confirm. We just love them, they are so funny. Our boy is rather timid and will come to us if we have food, but our girl has no issues putting her nose to ours and smelling us.

The whole family is loving them! :)
