Roxie Comes Home from the Vet! - Click to Watch Video

Hooray! Today is a happy day on our farm. Roxie is coming home from the vet. Soon after she arrived with Moxie and Soria she began eating less and less until one day she basically stopped altogether. Dr. Jana, our wonderful alpaca vet, came and gave her a vitamin-B shot, antibiotic, pain reliever and probiotics as well as force fed her through a tube, but she continued to decline in health. So we crossed our fingers and sent her to live with Dr. Jana at her home/hospital for three weeks in the hopes she could restore her back to health. And it worked! We think Roxie might have developed an ulcer from the anxiety of leaving her previous home, but whatever the true cause, Dr. Jana worked her alpaca magic and Roxie gained 19 lbs of weight in three weeks. Most importantly, she has her appetite back and is now happily chewing her cud again and digesting in all three of her stomachs as all healthy ruminants do! I also want to say how much I love my Land Rover, as it can hold four boys, four dogs and an alpaca very comfortably all at the same time. Great vehicle!
