Meet Rocky

Notes: Rocky arrived with two other llamas. He is the dominant
llama, and will move the others about as he sees fit. When Rocky
arrived, he had an injury to one of his front feet. This injury
abscessed and it was necessary for Rocky to travel to OSU
Veterinary Hospital. He stayed just over a week while they tried to
repair the damage Rocky had been living with for some time. He came
home with a cast on his foot/leg so that his bones would fuse
together in hopes that it would save Rocky from having his foot
amputated. Apparently, Rocky had sustained a puncture would that
had become infected through several joints. Rocky has recovered
well, but has had a few bone spurs as a result of his original injury,
and has been back to the hospital several times since then. Rocky
still runs happily through the pasture, he just has a little extra hop in
his step!
