EXPERIENCED LLAMA PEOPLE...

[AnnaC]

Thank you Maryann, my thoughts are with you and Larry - and Domino - at this difficult and unsettling time for you all. In spite of what I said, I really do hope that you can find an answer for his aggresion and that it proves to be just a temporary 'glitch'.

Wondering how things were going with your Llama?

Domino is scheduled to be gelded in about a week. After a rest, he's going to join a herd of older bachelor males/geldings.

We are leaving it open on whether or not he comes back to us.........But he IS staying in the area.

MA, I admit I don't know very much about Llamas, but I owned 2 at one time. A female and a gelding. The female got sick and died (in 2 days. The vet says they get some kind of worm in their brain like deer do and there's nothing you can do about it). Anyway, after we took her out, he decided he liked me. Really, really liked me.

Like you, I petted this guy and he had never spit at me or pushed me around.....until 1 day I went out in the pasture and he charged me from behind. I tried to get up but he wouldn't let me. I hollored for Curt and he came running out and kept him away from me until I could escape. From then on, I had to carry a big stick whenever I went out in the pasture. I hated doing that, so I gave him away to a school teacher who wanted him. They never had any problems with him. It was just me as Curt could go out and he was fine.

Good luck and I'm so glad you've got a plan. I really hope it works!!
