Most of the health care that alpacas require can be done
by the owners if they have had previous livestock experience.
They need an immunization injection once a year, a normal sheep vaccine of the 5 or 7 in one type provides sufficient immunity from clostridial infections. The crias shoud be vaccinated at 6 weeks of age when the immunity given from the mother is no longer effective.
Deworming normally twice a year maybe more depending on the
environment they are running under. Toe nail and teeth trimming is normally done once a year at shearing. Vaccinating and worming are also done at this time.
