I will be happy to demonstrate how to trim hooves, check teeth, give oral medication, shots, take temperatures, weigh an alpaca, check eyes, catch, halter and lead an alpaca.  I will also show ways to clean your barn and pasture and help you come up with a solution to dispose of manure and recommendations for parasite control.  I will also help you establish a method for setting up records to record all vital health information on your alpacas.  There are programs for this, however, if you do not want to go this route, a notebook can be set up for this.  These services are free to anyone purchasing or boarding an alpaca. 

If you have not purchased an alpaca from us but want to learn, please call for an appointment.  I will come to you for $35 per hour or you can come to me for $25 per hour. 

The most important thing that I can offer is my knowledge in the day to day caring for your alpacas.  It is imperative that you know each one.  Alpacas are very stoic animals and do not show their illnesses very readily.  Therefore, it is important to study each animal to get to know what their personality and habits are like.  I can teach you some signs to watch for and some quick steps to assess the situation.
