How much medical attention does an alpaca need?
Alpacas natural environment is the unforgiving habitat in the Andes mountains. They are very hardy animals with few medical needs. Vaccinations for rabies and monthly worming is generally all that is required. Depending on where you live, other vaccinations might be recommended by your veterinarian. Pregnant females get a little more attention to ensure pregnancy and that they are ready to be re-bred. Newborns also require some additional blood work to ensure health.
