Hi, I am new to this website and honestly to forums and threads.. but I have a sick alpaca and I am desperate.
I have had alpacas for about a year now (five females, now four). We lost one December 20, 2019 due to liver flukes. Tonight we found another one looking weak and not wanting to eat. She looks more stable then Stormy (the one we lost) did when she died, but now I am extremely scared to lose another one.
Please note we feed/trim hooves/deworm on a regular schedule. We also have sheep and chickens. Our animals are loved and taken care of.
I am wondering if anyone has any research into liver flukes or if this is only due to the wet weather we have been having.
We have treated with ivermectin plus and antibiotics. I found some information about Eperythrozoon or Mycoplasma haemolama. Has anyone else seen or have has an issue with this?
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT. Thank you.
