WHAT TO DO ABOUT A DYSTOCIA	Print this page Email to a friend

The first thing you need to decide is whether you are going to solve the problem or call the veterinarian. Many alpaca breeders are adept at delivering cria who begin the process out of position. Others call the veterinarian. If you want to learn how to solve your own problems there are many neo-natal clinics offered around the country each year. I recommend that you take a class. It will increase your confidence, lower your stress level and it may save a very valuable baby. Your decision may be made for you if the veterinarian is several hours away. The most important thing to remember is, do not panic. By staying calm and analyzing the situation you will do much better.
