Shot giving day

Sunday was shot giving day. We gave all fifteen alpacas their quarterly Ivermectin shot and a couple of cria their Tasvax shot. We were able to get 14 of the 15 on the scale for a weighing. Only Kiana decided it was not for her and stubbornly dropped into a cush position and would not be moved. Even the alpaca mash would not coax her into stepping on the scale. She would only bound across it, much too fast to obtain a weight reading. While some are hesitant to go on the scale, once on they seem to enjoy the extra height (3 inches) and looked around. Afterwards when we were leaving they were going back on the scale by themselves.

The only casualty was Caroline who jabbed herself with a needle.
