Interesting comment re-the weather as we have am older female who has been a little off-colour although not cushing etc...I just sort of "know" she's not herself, and I wondered if the drastic ups and downs in temperature can play havoc, exaggerating anything that might otherwise go un-noticed.

I do wonder if the up and down weather we seem to be having is not helping. Even maybe the frost? I know we had a problem with a horse who got colicky when we had mild weather then a frost. Hope she's feeling more herself soon.Cotswold Vale Alpacashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561186884017784668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336145835316960935.post-45152318721645389452012-01-24T11:35:49.964+00:002012-01-24T11:35:49.964+00:00Hoping Bahati is improving by now - she is in very...Hoping Bahati is improving by now - she is in very good hands.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741516978378790489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336145835316960935.post-9165384588334089652012-01-23T22:14:18.081+00:002012-01-23T22:14:18.081+00:00Can't offer anything, but crossed fingers Barb...Can't offer anything, but crossed fingers Barbara.Apple Vale Alpacashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660280300471008178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336145835316960935.post-5436712475772723332012-01-23T22:11:19.708+00:002012-01-23T22:11:19.708+00:00Thank you for your thoughts Jenny.

Although Bahati isn't actually an auction purchase, she has been with us since 2008, and is the dam of Pebbles, Pepsi and Poppet. She has had a very successful show record as a junior, intermediate and adult(1st placed brown female at the BAS National Show 3 years in a row!) and like many show alpacas does not get stressed very easily. Actually she probably is even more chilled than Explorer! But it is possible all the same. However, we are feeling that she has improved over the day.

We would probably consider with your poorly girl, an upset stomach, more so if she hadn’t been cudding. Cudding somewhat mystifies us. It could be the very early stages of an ulcer which from our experience they still cush; only later did our girl have her legs out to the side. The auction itself could have brought on an ulcer. Another female at the same action dropped dead of a stress-related disorder shortly after the same auction, leaving a tiny cria. Our female developed her ulcer several months after coming in from Australia and hasn’t had one since - in seven years. Auctions in draughty great cattle courts are no place to sell alpacas and compounds the effect of poor girls and boys being separated from their lifelong friends. It makes them very vulnerable to illness. We have dealt with ulcers using antibiotic paste and various other things. Something we have used for many years is ProKolin paste just for a gippy tummy. It soothes and absorbs anything nasty.

So if you are using Explorer, that may be the present problem (We have no problem with Google Chrome and Safari browsers.) Hope that helps!
