July 1st was a sad day here at ShaDo Alpacas, as Paris delivered a stillborn. I had to help her delivery a full term, true black little boy but unfortunately he had passed a way a couple of days prior to Paris going into labor. We took the little boy up to the vet for a necropsy, and also had to take Paris in as she had not delivered the placenta.
I spoke to our vet today, and the cause of death could not be determined. Paris is doing great and will be re-bred later this summer after a few more weeks rest and recovery. While it is frustrating to not have any answers, we are at least comforted by the fact that Paris is fine, and appears to have no idea about what happened to her. She is a healthy, well adjusted girl and we can't wait to see what she can do next year.
In the meantime, we are still expecting cria's from Imlay in August and hopefully, Juliette in September. Our two new babies, Max and Henry, are doing GREAT. Very active, healthy little boys. Max is an absolute stunner and Henry is cute as cute can be. He also thinks he's a Great Pyrenees, but that's a whole other post entirely!
