Treating Your Lama Kindly

Dr. LaRue Johnson of camelid veterinary fame and a long time supporter CAMELIDynamics teamed up with Marty on this classic produced in 1997. They worked together in the real world of getting the veterinary job done. Marty offered ideas for non-forceful handling while Dr. Johnson and students drew blood, performed rectal transabdominal and physical exams, gave injections and implanted microchips. They worked in a catch pen, a chute and a mini-catch pen with the research llamas at CSU veterinary school, a private ranch and with some of Dr. Johnsons llamas. The video is designed to be helpful for both the veterinary practitioner, owner or helper. Most of the animals in this video are llamas but the content is intended for both llama and alpaca owners. The techniques illustrated are equally useful for both species. This is an oldie but a goodie!
