The vet gave him some medication to decrease the swelling and lots of antibiotics. We washed it out every day for several days and it has healed up quite nicely. Baron was a lucky boy. We are happy he came into our lives and we could have a small part in helping him. I can honestly see no reason to leave a halter on.
Llamas are smart and are easily trained to put their halters on.
I was putting up fence close by and I heard the blood curdling screams of both goat and colt. It was terrible. When the vet got it off there were big holes and sores where the skin had adhered to the halter. They are leaving the halters off now. We had only had llamas for about 2 months.
