    Thank You LE for sharing with us the new upkeep for the Fur and Feathered babies. Great Job. Nancy

    LE and Megan - thank you for all the changes you have made to the farm. What I understand is that there has been an outbreak in Texas of alpacas getting sick and succumbing to the same thing that happened to Oakie and Ernie. Please do not blame yourselves, both Oakie and Ernie got sick very fast and were taken for vet care as soon as possible. Hugs!

      Supposedly, there are outbreaks all of the US. I've heard of some in Missouri and New York.

    He might have been on the low end of the weight range because of the parasites, but you had no way of knowing that. He looked perfectly fine, even to the vets. You've done wonderful things for the health of your animals and you should be proud of yourselves. And you have already made so many changes to benefit your babies, you are doing a great job.

    LE, I am proud of both you and Megan for thinning out the birds and doing a thorough clean up and re-evaluation of everyone's living areas. I realize getting a covered trailer to move animals in is probably very expensive. I don't know that there is a covered trailer on the Hill. I worry so much that Lester would not be able to make more than one run with his trailer before your roads get flooded out. It would be gut wrenching to have to decide which animals to leave if that happened. Tell your dad to have a merch sale in Okie's honor and use the money to buy another trailer that can stay with you all. ❤

    It's also a good idea to quarantine a new rescue ruminant while deworming them from 2 or 3 different dewormers, since some only act on a certain type. Also in the case of barber poles which is what Okie had, their jaws can collect fluid and make it swell really bad as well as under their chin if they are dangerously infected. Look up bottle jaw. Pasture rotations also help as well as trying to get feces cleaned up, but there it would be difficult.

    Looks like good new measures. Please don’t blame yourselves things unfortunately happen. And for some reason it took one of our favorite babies. Cats too can hide an illness. You will never know something is wrong until it’s critical. Big hugs to you and Meg.

  • @karencuster6030
    @karencuster6030 12 дней назад +19

    Thank you LE for taking measures to help prevent sickness at ISS. I truly believe that the parasite count was increased by the flooding. Taking care of animals is not easy or is there an easy way out. They depend on you .
    One suggestion I would make is to be careful with the new hay feeders. You have goats with horns and they can get their horns stuck. I think your Dad already had that happen. .

    Hi LE, you are doing such a great job trying to make the Sanctuary as healthy and safe as possible.
    I know when your dad kives there he said he always had to jeep his grass cut to just so many inches to prevent perisites from getting in the grass . He mowed their pasture a lot. He also kept their pen raked clean all the time.
    You and Megan have been doing a great job. The animals are blessed to have you to love and care for them God bless you LE and Megan too. Okie dokie lived his best life at the Sanctuary and we will all remember him with smiles. 🙂

    Thank you, LE, for Ernie's health update. I've never owned farm animals before, only dogs. But like any animal, when we know better, we do better. No matter how healthy you think your animals are, they can quickly go from fine to critically ill without warning. Unfortunately, they can't tell us how they feel. Just like Ernie, they can be very stoic until suddenly they can't stand or move.
    I think you and Meg do an amazing job with your animals. Just like everything in life, it's a learning process. Y'all are responding by making changes that will impact your animals' quality of life long-term.
    All the best.

I appreciate you rehoming some of the feathers. ISS had become over run with feathered animals and They can be very dirty animals. All these changes will be helpful. Thank you for your informative video. You are right, its time to move forward and learn from this tragedy.

    dont be hard on your selves you did the best you could. Prey animals such as alpaca, rabbits, birds etc, are hardwired to hide illness up till the end. its tough working with so many animals takes really strong kind caring people to have a farm or sanctuary. the floods you guys had recently brought in a lot of nasty bugs and parasites some take forever to get rid of out of the ground all you can do is what your doing, keep moving forward and keep praying things will get better in time

    LE, thank you so much for sharing Ernie's health report with us! I really appreciate this! To help you understand the report better, in the report under "HISTORY" is information that your Dad and Jami shared with/told to the Vets about Ernie appearing healthy prior to transport. A&M Vets have no way of knowing or being able to have an opinion about the condition of Ernie prior to his transport there. I'm so glad to see all the improvements that you are making with using the feeding stations, feed storage buckets, and re-homing so many of your geese and ducks! Glad to hear that you will be mowing frequently as well. I assume that the frequent mowing will also apply to the mini donkeys' pastures as well, so, that will be good. Also, I think your plan to do frequent famacha testing on all your babies is an excellent one! Thank you both for taking what seems to be really good proactive steps to maintaining the health and safety of your babies!

All the best, God bless, stay safe and be very vigilant of your surroundings in and around the Sanctuary and the vicinity near it. And as you said, it's better to be on the safe side with the animals health, plus yours and Megans's as well. Take care and have a pleasant day.
