Shearing and hoof trimming for llamas, alpacas and goats

My Favorite Things


 
 These are my favorite products, books, and stores. I have found them to be effective and recommend them on a regular basis.
 
 
 
*Topical Medications*
 
 
  Dr. Naylors-Hoof 'n Heal

Penetrates deep into the hoof to attack hoof rot, foot rot, fouls, and foot scald in sheep, goats, cattle, and dairy cows.  Quick response, rapid loss of lameness.  Non-toxic. No residues. Does not cause hoof to shrink, become discolored, hard or brittle.

*I use this on a regular basis to keep hoof rot out of my herd. Its clear so it doesn't stain hands or clothes.*

 

 Dr. Naylors-Blu-Kote

For treatment of surface wounds, cuts, galls, hoof, foot & pad sores, chafes, abrasions, moist lesions, eczema & sores. Kills ringworm & fungus infections. Quickly dries up blisters & box-like scabby sores or lesions. Long acting & deep penetrating

*Great to keep on hand because it has so many uses.*


EQyss-Micro-Tek Spray 


 

 

A fast acting, anti-microbial spray that minimizes problems on contact providing leave on protection that continues to work for over 24 hours. It promotes a healthy skin and coat by controlling skin conditions while adding protein to strengthen damaged areas. This formula offers leave on protection to the damaged problem areas. Will not burn or hurt open wounds. Environmentally friendly. Accelerates healing. Alcohol free. NON-TOXIC. 

*This is a wonderful product. One of my older llamas has recurring skin problems and this stuff works wonders for her.  It is safe and gentle and has proven effective for me on several of our animals. It works quickly and effectively.*

 

Calm Eyes

Stops itching, reduces redness, decreases drainage and soothes irritations cools and cleanses. 100% natural product. 

*I have seen it work well for many of my animals suffering from eye irritation. Not for treatment eye infections.*

     

 

*Grooming*

 

Shedding Blade

This is a great tool to remove hay and other debris from wool. I also use this tool to whisk snow off of my llamas because it keeps your hands dry and doesn't rub snow into their coats. 

                                             Shedding Blade

 

Wool Tamer-Pin Brush

Works great to clean out debris without damaging the wool.

  

 Slicker Brush 

Great for untangling wool and keeping mats from forming. Great for overall grooming.

 

Circuiteer II Blower

If you have a lot of animals a blower can really speed up grooming time. I love mine. It makes it easy for me to clean up all my animals throughout the year and before shearing.  It has a lot of power !

 

Magic Toe Shears

I use these at work and at home. They hold up very well, stay sharp, and I have never had mine rust even though they are in the barn year round. The perfect tool for hoof trimming.

 

Fiskars Scissor Shears 

 Before I bought my electric clippers I used these scissors for all my shearing. They are a bit more time consuming but allow you to work slowly and they do not require access to electricity, so you can shear anywhere. They are still what I use on heavily matted animals or those afraid of clippers. They work well and stay sharp. Great for hard to reach areas and for clipping out mats and burrs.  

 * I do not recommend for angora goats or alpacas because of their dense fiber

 FISKAR SHEAR, REGULAR

I am always at Plateau Veterinary. I get almost all my supplies from here because of the selection and prices. They also have two wonderful veterinarians working here. I have found them to be very helpful and knowledgeable. We rely on them for our goat care.
