Sorry no video - Rasputin very poorly

Sorry to all the blog watchers looking for a video diary with our latest news.


Rasputin's injury has become much worse and he has been at the Equine Hospital for the last two days, undergoing major surgery this morning to rebuild his dislocated and fractured shoulder.


I haven't got the time or emotional capacity to create a video diary at the moment. We returned Rasputin to the Equine Hospital this week for updated X-Rays to discover the injury had deteriorated despite confined box rest. He has a large team of surgeons and anesthetists working on shoulder reconstruction as I write this. I am very nervous as long periods of General Anesthetic are historically not kind to alpacas. Never have my fingers been so crossed.

  2. Just heard from Equine Hospital, Rasputin has survived 3 hour surgery so far, General Anesthetic OK so far. Fingers crossed for further progress.
