The llama was put on meds the first time he was here, when the calf was still alive. He's treating him for the possibility of meneges worm - so that's double ...
Hi KC, I just found this message floating around my mail box ( I must have missed it). I just have a well but no "irrigation". I will need to put in a line to...
It's about 3/4 the way down the products page. Or just click on Lifestyle at the top of the products page. Ron ... From: "TINYBABE" <tinybabe@...> To:...
We have seen many people put concrete or metal 'collars' around the sprinkler heads to protect them. That is what my husband and I plan to do. We live in the...
I have a heavy rubber hose coming from the irrigation pump. Then I just buy hoses and connect them together and have the RainBirds on them. I have 100 ft....
Hi Marlene, I'm in Pearblossom (not too far). Do you already have your cattle? Our soil is pretty sandy in spots, hard as rock in other. What kind of cattle...
We sure do! We have three registered Miniature Herefords. All three heifers and the two oldest are settled and due in May and June. Pearblossom isn't far...
Thanks KC, This sounds like it could work really well. So I guess the key is keep the warter sprinklers high and up off the ground. By the way that little bull...
Thanks for the compliment. I think he's soooo cute too. I don't know how much longer I will have him. I'm trying to sell him. He's going to be weaned at...
KC, He is REALLY cute but I really want a pure SH bull. Just out of curiosity, how much are you asking for him? Also, how big do you think he would get? ...
By SH, are you saying Scottish Highlander? If so, in this country they are called American Highland Cattle, in case you look for them on the Net. The ...
Hi all, A few of us Mini Zebu folks up here in Canada have gotten together and started a Canadian Mini Zebu site and we also have a spot to list foreign...
If it was my vet, no blanking way would I go with double doses of toxic wormers and more mold-produced penicillin if I suspected a sickness caused by moldy...
Same here. Maybe some antibiotics would help. Not knowing what's wrong, it's hard to say. But, double doses of insecticides doesn't make sense to me either....
The vet still feels that the llama probably has the menegial worm, but still can't figure out if the calf had any connection to the llama's problem. He thinks...
My vet has had me give elevated doses of Ivomec before, and when I looked at him with my "what have you been smoking" look, he has assured me you can double...
My Lowline cow Emily finally had her calf this afternoon (2 hours ago.) Both Mom and baby are fine. Beautiful day - 72 degrees, sun shining, and a nice calf...
Martha, are you having the unseasonably warm winter like we up here are? (that could explain the season thing unless it is a summer thing) Also, could your...
Thanks - I'll do a search on EPM. The penicillin is in case it's bacteria menigitis. It's hard to picture a young calf eating feces, or even a llama - a horse ...
Well, Llamas can get EPM!! Also, found out WEst Nile Virus can affect llamas too. Still don't think it would be the cause for the calf's death. But I'm putting...
My vet called me back today and he agreed that EPM was a good possibility. My vet is in a clinic and this vet is one of the original owners of the clinic, but...
Martha, try putting the ground-up SMZ in maple syrup or molasses or evaporated milk (the thick kind) instead of water. If it's ground up fine enough you can...
I've put SMZ inside an apple for a donkey - the problem is getting this llama to open his mouth!! and he's not eating grain enough to disguise it that way. But...
Dribble some syrup or evaporated milk on his lip and see if he won't lick it up. I do that with horses and they'll usually knock me down trying to get more....
we just had to put a horse down who had EPM this past Fall...it is from a protozoal parasite. Horses are not the primary host- the parasite is spread from the...
Martha, I've not seen literature indicating llamas can get EPM- I'd be interested in reading what you found. Sulfa is only part of the triad they usually use...
