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!
