[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 854326, member: 16453"] Wagyu girl, you may not want to give your exact location, but if you can narrow it down a bit it helps to help you eg whether or not you are in a liver fluke area. We are on the northern edge of the New England Tableland and while we are not normally real bad for fluke in drier years, the rain we have had lately certainly brings it to the fore. A neighbour of mine recently lost 3 Alpaccas, supposedly from fluke. As feed became scarcer in winter they grazed the greener wet areas below their dam, an area they avoided when more feed around, they got an acute dose of immature fluke. I don't know a real lot about fluke, but I believe tests for it are not absolute, an individual test is unreliable, needs to be on multiple samples to get idea of herd status. But again it comes back to geographic position to know if it is a possibility. Ken [/QUOTE]
