Spit happens: Learning camelid health care in the field
Catherine Skinner examines an alpaca as Dr. Christopher Cebra teaches during the camelid course.
Catherine Skinner has gone two weeks without getting spit on. That’s hopefully a normal occurrence for most of us. But most of us aren’t working with alpacas and llamas on a daily basis.
Skinner just finished the Camelid Medicine and Surgery course, a two-week elective, at Oregon State University’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine. It covers all things alpaca and llama.
