RE: [AlpacaTalk] Orphan Cria!

 

I had a 3 month old cria years ago that I had to wean on my vets advice because of the condition of the mom. He did fine. I weighed him daily to make sure he was not losing weight.

Water is another issue so she doesn't get dehydrated.Sorry you didn't put where you are so I don't know about weather.Gatorade in water for her would also be great,if she will drink it!

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] Orphan Cria!

 

We have a June 20 Cria whose dam died yesterday. She is big and seems healthy, but is she old enough to survive without dams milk? I have another Cria born June 14 whose dam dejected and is on bottles of goats milk. This orphan Cria has never been in a bottle and I know it won't be easy. How likely is it she can survive without milk. I have always let moms wean so this is all new - having a baby with no mama.
Barber pole worms and parasites in general are flourishing in our extraordinary overly wet summer!
All have been treated with Cydectin but this dam showed no symptoms. She came running into the barn with all the others to eat and 15 minutes later she was dead! Never got her grain so no  choke.
