Thanks all of you. We contacted the lady we got him from, and she said he may have had ulcers.(she has had him for over 10 years) Which makes sense why the antibiotics didnt help. I wish the vets around here knew more sbout livestock.

Llamas and alpaca are very susceptible to ulcers. Stress is a big contributing factor. They can be difficult to treat and most times you don't know anything is wrong until it is beyond repair.

I lost a llama years ago to ulcers. It wasn't pretty and she died in my arms.
