Ah! The roller coaster ride continues. Good news from Dr Waitt at OSU they have located the tear, which is small and on the wall of Bettina?s vagina. It has stopped bleeding and they are happy with how she is looking. Alpacas are very susceptible to adhesions from such cuts and the adhesions can compromise future fertility. They pack her with fresh dressings each one coated in a broad spectrum anti-biotic. This is good news and they just want to keep her for a few days.

The not so good news is that Tara Timpson has called to say that of the two new cria we drew blood from on the 18th one has a very low Igg and so we decide to give a plasma transfusion. For a variety of reasons, the earliest we can schedule this is Saturday morning.
