Herd It Here Farm

We are doing everything we know how to mitigate the heat for our herd. Today we built a cool room for them.

As we say goodbye to Chris we want to remember him in life and the joy he brought us. If you've visited the farm and got any pictures of Chris, please share them below! Thank you for all the love and support you have given us, it truly means a lot.

I’m so sad to report that we had to put Christopher down. The extreme fever caused brain damage and blinded him. The vet tried his best but it was just Chris’ time to go. He will now cross the rainbow bridge and pronk with Zoe and Natasha. We will so miss you Chris. You brought so much joy to the farm. Rest in peace little boy.

For those of you who have visited the farm, please say a prayer for Christopher, one of our boy alpacas. Chris was very lethargic and quite wobbly. Temperature was 105.1 at its highest. Clearly heat related as it is very hot and humid here.

Pain meds, antibiotics and vitamin B on board. Fans and portable a/c blowing on him. Rubbing alcohol and wet belly to help bring the fever down and an emergency call to the vet to get IV fluids going.

Vet is here now, temp down to 101.7 which is a huge relief. Ultrasound, blood draw and fluids.

His temp was critically high which is likely the cause of the unsteadiness.

The other boys (and us) are worried…

Updates to come.
