What are the veterinary costs?
All of the following costs are from my own animal experiences using my local veterinarian. Your costs will differ depending on the area, numbers of medication, and your specific veterinarian. Use these numbers as a reference only. We also give the shots ourselves as most alpaca owners do. If you are uncomfortable, please have your vet provide professional assistance, most vets are glad to show you how to give shots. Our farm visit cost is $33.00 per trip, yours will very depending on the vet and reference to the veterinarian clinic. A large animal veterinarian will be providing this service. All alpacas need a yearly CD/T shot and multiple de-worming shots. The CD/T shot per animal costs $5.00 plus the farm call if you have a vet do it for you. You can purchase the CD/T from the vet hospital store along with needles and syringes or have the vet dispense them for you to pickup. The de-worming shots consist of injection (IM) Ivomectin or Dectomax once per year and an oral dose of Panacur
