I don't like giving shots so I have my vet come out and do them...that way I also make sure everyone gets a good once-over just in case I'm not seeing something going on with them.Rosannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-4105357472740568062011-03-30T08:28:00.055-07:002011-03-30T08:28:00.055-07:00I completely understand your concern with the llam...I completely understand your concern with the llama. We have Fuzzy and they can be intimidating. We have the same arrangement. She can touch me, eat from the bucket etc...but under no circumstances can I pet/touch/catch her. We gave CD&T shots and de wormed all 9 goats, 15sheep but couldn't cathch the llama. I continued to worry about this. So this morning we let her into the smaller paddock behind the barn and Ted and I looked at each other like, if she kicks me it's really going to hurt. After a few attempts I was able to walk right up to her and put my arm around her neck and get the halter on her. The shot was a snap. Boy does she hate to have the dewormer gun put into her mouth. After a few attempts a rearing I finally got the drench down her. Yes, it does taste nasty. Take my word on it. Happy Llamaing. You did a great job. I stuck my thumb the other day too. Doesn't freak me out. I would much rather tick my finger at home than at the hospital with HUMANS.
