My Llamas first signs were lack of interest in "some" of his food, then it progressed and quickly to staggaring, in ablilty to right himself, he acted loopy. Like his balance was off.

 Thanks Pete, me too. Of all my "hobby farm" pets, he is by far my favorite. He is the best of a cat and dog. We joke and say he is our 250 lb barn dog. Im doing all the reading and talking I can. Next place MSU. There has got to be something out there. Its not over yet.

  Im waiting for the vet to come out and have a look see on our Jeff the Llama. The vet ( when we talked this morning) does not think it is an menengeal worm. Not the season for them ….yet. Im crossing my fingers, praying very hard and holding my breath that its someting treatable. Thank you all for your kindness…More later.

  GOOD NEWS!   Jeff is going to be o.k.  Vet #3, He is my hero! Came out to  our place, took one look at Jeff and knew his neck was out of align! He did two chiropractic adjustments on Jeff, he walked almost normal after that. Doc said it will take 48 hours for the full effect. We are not out of the woods yet, Jeff may need another adjustment.  This I can handle. Its deffinitely NOT brain worm, wrong time of year for that. A slug is needed to carry the parasite to its host….good thing its still cold here in SW Michigan. Too cold for slugs!

 I hadnt slept since Thursday when this all started, last night I still couldnt sleep. All I could do was lay there and say "THANK YOU GOD!"

Thank  you!   To all of you here. For all your good thoughts.  Im hoping that this will help others. I talked with two other people with similar experiences and their pets had to be put down, maybe if there vet knew to look for neck alignment theyd still be alive. 

 If you ever have a chance to welcome a Llama into your farm, do it. You wont be disappointed, you'll be in love!

Angela the Llama lover and her buddy The Jeff

This is what I "think" happened to Jeff, recently here in SW Michigan we had some heavy, and wet snow. Now our temps are rising….ya! Spring!  and melting the snow during the day, night we freeze, creating ice. I think Jeff may have slipped just enough to put his back and neck out of wack!????

Thank you all again for your concern   and yes I will get a photo of The Jeff, warning he is a cutie!

Jeff is under stall arrest until all the ice has melted. He is NOT happy about my choice but he is still on the mend. And voila! A picture of "The Jeff"  Enjoy.

Thanks Rileysmom for doing the dance! We are just dancing people arent we!?!?!
