I am from Kansas. I am a farmer. My farm has been in my family a long time. My alpacas are calm and peaceful. I have a baby alpaca who was born two weeks ago. I've been spending more time with my alpacas. I like to read the farmers almanac. I like horror movies and television programs. I currently have no job. I want to find another job one day. I have read the book Pet Sematary by Stehpen King. I like to go to the beach. I would like to live in Hawaii. I have a baby Alpaca named Alex. My baby Alpaca is special to me. Raising Alpacas is new to me. I am generally experienced caring for animals.
I like to read. I sometimes watch reality TV. My favorite movie genre is horror. Stephen King is my favorite author. I am a vet tech. I help heal animals. I have never worked with alpaca's. I work mostly with dogs and cats. Dogs are my favorite animal. I love basset hounds. I love working on the farm. I live in Michigan.
I was able to get someone qualified to come treat Alex for me. Is it a special occasion for Alex? No, but she is not progressing as she should be for this age, so I need a vet specialized in Alpaca care to come and take a look at her. Oh Ok, I see.  I know Alex is like family, so I'm sure you're a bit nervous having somebody come into to see her. Yes you are right. Also, I feel like this is a hit to my pride because I usually know how to deal with all of my animals ailments but the alpacas are a mystery to me. Well, you're still getting used to alpacas.  Hopefully the expert can shed some light.  What kind of symptoms is she having? She doesn't seem to want to eat anything. What do you normally do with animals like that on the farm? well, usually the mother can eventually help the baby along.  But in this case I assume the mother hasn't been able to help? No, the mother is showing no interest whatsoever in Alex. Can alpacas experience post-partum depression? Because I think the mother may have it. Hmmm, interesting point.  I assume they can, just like anybody else.  Hopefully the vet can take a deeper look and determine what's going on.  Anyways, how is the rest of the farm going? Yes, hopefully. Everything else here is going great! How about with you? Vet business is keeping my busy...dogs and cats are my day but I love the little fur balls!!!  Been so busy I've hardly had time to read.
