You are not alone in your vet care quandary. My vet told me he didn't know much about sheep, I told him I didn't either, we'd just have to learn together.
That's for sure!The more negatives I read about Vets the more I see how lucky we are to have an old fashioned farm visiting vet who isn't out to make a fortune on every animal they see.
We actually had this same discussion about a yr ago, but it has taken her this Long to "Absord It"....her terms...before it could be understood. She has always disagreed with "Reality" until it "Slaps" her in the face.
Talk to your vet. If they don't typically do alpacas, I would be more inclined to send it out. I don't know much about llamas or alpacas though. They do have a camelid form on the site posted.
