This farm routinely runs decals and treats for any hint of coccidia and worms.
We also remove all poop from the field twice a day to prevent reinfestation.
She was fed calf mana and grain separate from the herd mid day daily for a few months and has put on weight.
She still structurally looks "off". Her back is roached instead of straight and always makes me think it's indicative of some underlying medical issue. She usually has her ears back instead of up. The combo is not what a healthy alpaca should look like.
She physically seems fine. Its possible as she aged and grew that she doesn't have the cream of the crop conformation the rest have.
Their vet has been out several times recently to draw blood and give shots for the paperwork necessary to show and for another alpacas out of state transport. She's not worried.
Parasites?
