open cervix
Hi Lori, I'm sorry about the trouble you are having. Was there any dystocia or trauma from her previous births? I had a female who prolapsed her uterus and tore her cervix a little. After a year of h…

Skin problems
Hello Bonnie! We do use it on our pregnant females and have not had any problems. I have heard other breeders who prefer not to use it on pregnant females because they heard it wasn't safe. I have pr…

Tumours in Alpacas
I meant "It does look unsightly, but they didn't seem to BOTHER the alpacas that had them." :)

Jamie-
Are you able to order the Vitamin B (100mg of Thiamine) on-line? Which company do you use? I'm only able to find B Complex with the 12.5 mg of Thiamine.
I'd appreciate any leads to locating the Vitamin B.
Thanks,
Liz Jones

Nice post, Jamie. But I can tell you I agree 1000% with him. I remember the first time I met you at NWA and walked into the River Barn and you were able to tell me "this is so and so" and "such and such is over there". Although I love all the folks…

We had an alpaca with a few and our vet, Dr. Jones, said they are warts. He called it a form of Papiloma virus. Can't remember the specific types. He removed them surgically when they grew.

- My name is Jamie. I don't have a farm of my own. I work at Northwest Alpacas. I have been working there for 6 years as the herd health manager. In addition to working at Northwest Alpacas, I work at Islay Hills Alpacas, North Plains Alpacas, Alpacas at Dairy Creek, and occasionally help out at Stoneberg Alpacas. I also farmsit for Alan Cousill and Jude Anderson at Pucara International Alpacas and for Pat Martin at Heritage Alpacas. I have also worked on a weekly basis under the tutelage of Dr. Paul L. Jones of Woodburn Veterinary Clinic.
I am a single mom of one. I have a son named, Isaiah, he turned 1 on September 7th. I can't believe how fast time flies!
When I am not working, I am in school full time. Studying to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. Ultimately I want to become a Large Animal Veterinarian specializing in Camelids. Vet Tech degree is just something to help me provide for my son a little better until I can finish vet school in the future.
I have acquired 2 alpacas of my own. Someday, I will have my own farm. Hopefully with 200+ alpacas.

Trouble at around midnight
I think my son had a night terror. Screamed for 20 minutes and nothing I did soothed him. Sometimes he wakes up crying, but as soon as I pick him up and rock him he is ok. This time he kept screamin and screamin and it was like he wasn't even awake for most of it...It was rather frightening for me as well. Is it possible that a 1 year old can have a night terror??? They say that older children tend to have them, not kids my son's age.

Internal Parasites
I always like to hear how other breeders de-worm even though we have our own protocol. Listening and sharing experiences with other breeders, in my opinion, is crucial for finding better ways to care for our alpacas as a whole. After all, we all love our alpacas and we all want to maintain healthy herds for the benefit of the animal and our businesses. That is why I will share how I treat alpacas for parasite infestations and I would love to hear what you do differently.

You just got it? Lis/Fleece!!!??? HAHAHA!
Do you know anyone going from NM to Idaho? Have a friend who needs 1 girl transported.

Tracey Koehler said… - Hey Jamie, was thinking about that costume idea. Why couldn't you felt some fleece and then sew it into an Alpaca? That could be really fun to try to do.

- Hopefully Fantasia will be ok - she spent 10 days in the hospital - we brought her home yesterday. Of course she's pretty inflamed but hopefully she'll be ok. We'll have her checked in a couple weeks to see if there's scarring or if she might be able to breed again. Keep you fingers crossed. It was a very hard delivery. A girl, too - Canadar's.
RE: Truva - a healthy 14.2 pound female - dark fawn I would say, with a small white patch on her eyebrows and on the front of each of her front feet. She's healthy and growing. Had to assist the birth a bit - elbows were locked - Truva is doing fine. A very attentive mom. Not much milk at first - so we supplemented with an herbal mixture and now I think she's doing ok - cria is putting on weight. I'll post a pic if I can figure out how! Named her Zoe. Thanks for checking on the panacur paste. Promise - Duchess and Daphne still with strongyles

- Hi Jamie,
How was your day, Rick did help with the pastures. I just had to make him feel guilty. Which is hard to do. : ) Are we still on for Thursday?

- Hi there. Things are going ok. We had a tough week last week - Fantasia's cria died - she was breech and delivery just wasn't meant to be. We got Fantasia back today after a week at the U - she's recovering nicely. Thanks for pointing me to this site.
