Mine too, come to think of it.<br /><br />Quinn, Sam is the ultimate helper.<br /><br />Lee, I took one 800mg tablet; enough to knock me out for the night.<br /><br />Karen, some days I love them more/less than others -grin.<br /><br />TL, the Ranger has independent wheel suspension but I still get antsy on uneven ground. Never worry about spelling errors, I'm not offended because I know how hard you work.<br /><br />Gretchen, thank you and think he was/is FAT. He's doing well now, getting up on his own, etc.<br /><br />Monkeywrangler, I think he needed de-worming and was fat; he's been de-wormed and is still fat but getting up on his own now.<br /><br />Marsha, he's doing all right now; I did what I could and God did the rest.<br /><br />Lynn, you are so sweet! He's doing fine; God willing, it'll continue and he'll be fine the rest of winter.<br /><br />Jill, your prayers are always greatly appreciated; thank you!<br /><br />Kathy, he's doing fine, it was a combination of needing to be de-wormed and he's fat.<br /><br />Debbie, we're all terminal but that doesn't make it any easier. <br /><br />Vicki, he seems to be fine but fat -grin-. Hope you're having better weather than I'm having...snow, sleet, ice, COLD.<br /><br />Dori, if you have phenylbutal, bute for short, that can be given to animals for pain, arthritis. It's not supposed to be given to "food" animals but Carly is a pet.<br /><br />Vicki, yes, did break my ankle but it healed nicely, thank God.<br /><br />Suziqu, 'Paca is fine, I'm fine and it's another ending to another day full of "life on the farm".<br /><br />Glenda, thank you, God lets me do the work He has set before me.<br /><br />Lisa, all are well now; it's been a long haul.<br /><br />Patrice, he needed de-worming and he was fat; he was de-wormed but can't do anything about the fat part. it's too cold for a diet.<br /><br /><br />Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-56969942582329817422013-12-08T18:57:51.141-05:002013-12-08T18:57:51.141-05:00You certainly have had an interesting run with pac...You certainly have had an interesting run with paca! What in the world is going on. Sounds like something got his central nervous system. Is there any chance he's eating something poisonous? Do alpaca's have the same thing that goats have- when they eat frozen clover they get poisoned because the freezing causes the nitrogen in the plant to go off the charts. It all out killed one of our goats, but if he's getting something a little bit each day...?? Just thinking... BTW- I'm "one of those Christians"too. I will be in prayer for Paca, and you too! You work SO hard. How I wish I could sit and talk with you over tea/coffee. You're a neat person!

So very good!! You give him everything you can, and love, too. I really can imagine, how you feel in these moments. You<br />remember, we had an old sheep, she had athrosis in one knee, and we helped her to get up once a day. She was not very heavy, but it was hard enough to get her up.<br /><br />I am completely shure, that the combination of IBU and some alcoholics is te optimum in these cases. My husband (a doctor:)! ) encourages me for this, when I am in very hard and havy situations with pain and soul-pain. What do you think about some injection against pain for the Alpaca? <br /> <br />Lovely dogs- so true and sweet. Lovely Alpaca!

Praying for energy and discernment for you, and I know you're faithful no matter what the outcome. I'm thankful for your good neighbors, but don't take any unnecessary chances.

Don't think they handle numerous days over 110 degrees very well. Good luck hope you find an answer.<br /><br />If your Ranger is like my Kubota there are safety belts to use to keep you from falling out. Make sure when you are on a hillside your keep your front wheels level.

You are amazing! Maybe 'Paca Rose just loves the special attention, lol. Admittedly, I know nothing about Alpacas other than we learned of them when I was in 6th grade geography(?) and studied South & Central America...a very long time ago.

I sure hope Paca Rose will be alright -- it's sad when an animal is in distress and can't tell us what's wrong. <br />Hmmm, I don't know about a big glass of something alcoholic and Ibuprofen, but it would definitely relax you!!
