4 .Deworming and vaccination . Llamas need to be on a regular schedule of deworming. Panacur or Safeguard paste and Ivermectin subcutaneous shots, have been the recommended dewormers. Ivermectin will not take care of tapeworms - use Panacur or Safeguard paste. Babies are vaccinated before weaning at five to six months.
Coccidiosis presents a danger of dehydration as well as debilitation that can lead to death.
Treat with Corrid. Llamas frequently choke on concentrated pellets . Not every one of them will choke, but if you feed straight pellets to your llamas, ultimately you are likely to have a case of choke - particularly when animals are in competition for food. A coarse feed, even mixed with pellets, is preferable. In an emergency, acute episodes of choke may be resolved by passing a tube into the side of the mouth and gently feeding the length of it down the throat to clear obstruction.
