Hmm, not sure if it's the same but I had a female who wouldn't hold a prgnancy at first. It took almost a year to sort out the issues. She ended up getting a GnRH shot which may have been Estrumate (not sure). That seemed to get things going for her. Her second cria which did not require any...

very cute!

Hmm. When showing some friends our chicks yesterday (which were hatched by someone for us) I happened to say something like 'Well, we don't have an incubator yet, so ..." The friends immediately noted the "yet" and I had to backpedal on my hope of having an incubator for chick self...

Sorry to hear this. Hope you are healing well, and things will work out in due time. Of course this is not easy to hear now but you will find ways to stay involved with horses, even if you're unable to ride yourself. Best of luck...

The other alpaca owners I know have bigger places and get hay that's traveled a bit farther. I'm about to start sourcing...
