Deworming and vaccination. Llamas need to be on a regular schedule of deworming. Panacur or Safeguard paste and Ivermectin subcutaneous shots or pour-on liquid 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.
