RJ acts like he's plugged up. Tender belly, hunched over. I hope he's going to be ok
That sweet boy looks like he feels pitiful. I hope y’all can get him fixed up
Bottom line is RJ needs a vet. Hope u hook him up. It’s a shame ur vet clinic doesn’t have someone on call over holidays and weekends. Love watching ur family and farm. Thanks for keeping us up on the donkeys. Thanku for being u and doing what u do. 🐾❤️🐾
Daniel, work smarter not harder. Go buy (5) 10gal buckets with lids, put them in back of the side by side, fill up at the house, and drive them to the barn. One trip, fill everything up. I hope RJ feels better!
Rj my prayers I'm literally in tears he's one of my favorites

YES prayers for R.J. he is my favorite.... Dear Lord please let R.J. get better 🙏
Does RJ have a fever? It looks like an abdominal blockage of some kind. Please don't wait too late to get him help.
I am sorry for the loss of RJ. He was a good Alpaca. Poor Steve, he was protective of himself. You learn from mistakes. RIP RJ, you crossed the Rainbow 🌈. Your Dad will see you again. ❤❤❤❤
Yes he needs to see a vet now before the weekend comes. He looks really sick. Can't risk loosing him to
Hopefully you will R.J. to the vet. He is a miracle baby and he needs to stay around for a long while Good video Daniel.
Please call a vet, I love RJ, he is very special. I don't want anything to happen to him.
We’re in the frigid weather now. Prayers for everyone. Prayers for RJ! 🇺🇸💖
You could get in to the vet if you wanted to!! Don't wait to long! RJ means a lot to all of us!

Hello Arms family! Hoping your taking your special boy, RJ, to the vet. Poor baby looks like he's in a lot of pain.
Saying prayers for RJ.I know all this took place last Sunday, and by now your vet has probably checked him over. I hope to hear an update on RJ soon. 💖🙏💖🙏💖
RJ acts like he could be constipated by the way he was standing. Earl holding that chew stick for Kelce is the cutest thing.

My horse had colic a while back, but he didn't get well...not enough poops in a day...and was still 'off'. My vet said to put 2 oz of "MOM" in his senior pellet feed. It helps soften his manure. It certainly helps. As the other person said, I'm not a vet", but your vet might know if it's OK for Alpacas. 🙏 for you.

Poor poor RJ. Hope he gets better
It’s amazing to me how you can name all those animals by heart. I can’t even remember my own name most of 5he time.
Hopefully the vet will be able to get RJ better. Veterinarian are always on call. Get well soon RJ!
Poor RJ. I hope he recovers from whatever is troubling him, and gets better.
Hopefully you can get a vet to come out and look at him. I hope you don’t lose him over this cool spell I don’t know what else to say. Just keep you all in my prayers and hopefully you all won’t lose him 😢

Poor RJ, it is so worrying when an animal is not well. Stay warm!
Poor little man, my heart hurts seeing him like this. Please keep us updated on how he is doing, and I'll keep prayers for you and him.
It is cold here in Western Maryland. We got snow Monday and more coming tomorrow. Poor RJ. I will be praying for him. He truly was a gift from God after Rufus passed. Kelsey and Earl are so cute.
Let us hope the vet can come and see him.
Awww, poor RJ. I pray by the time this has posted he has seen a vet and is feeling much better now. I can only hope. Take care & stay warm. ❤️ Jo in Michigan ❄️
I said many prayers for RJ already.. love him so much and he's Rufus' legacy, so I really hope the Vet can help him and find out what is ailing him. God bless you, RJ and thank you, Daniel for keeping a close eye on RJ. Please let us know how he's doing as soon as you can. Thank you! 💜❤❌⭕
Praying for RJ. It is so sad to see our animals hurting, but God cares for His creatures. He made us all, and He alone can heal us in an instant. May angels surround RJ and comfort him and you, and God’s healing balm restore him. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
RJ MIGHT BE SICK cause Alfalfa does have one downfall: it can cause a rather dangerous cattle ailment called “bloat.”....Thanks Danial and family

Goats can eat moldy hay,so can cattle, but not horses and wondering if alpacas are the same. Also, alfalfa can be rich for some animals. I know with horses one feeding of alfalfa., the other feeding is some good grass hay. They find out what’s wrong.

It can also cause urinary blockage, especially in males from the high calcium content.

bloat present different at least in cattle as the description bloat they blow up like a balloon not sure if alpaca present same i would lean more to constipation Daniel did mention anything about it there was poo in pen ???? Bloat i believe is more an issue with fresh alfalfa once dried and baled no an issue never had problems in winter when we fed alfalfa fresh alfalfa yes we tried to keep from feeding on only alfalfa a random alfalfa or clover bunch where seeds ended up from ?? bird or winter feed didn't bother them as it was limited to small amounts
28:00 watching you chase Steve was hilarious. It reminded me of when my Shetland pony would get out as a kid and we could never catch him... but my mom would stand on the porch with a few cookies in a paper sack and just shackin' that bag and calling for Dapple Dan to come home.. it never took very long before he'd come trotting back. He was no dummy. But he sure looked like a whipped pup as we led him back in the corral.... "Shucks, I fell for it again. Dang that sweet tooth"🤠
Prayers for RJ he feels better very soon!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hang in there RJ we are all praying for you Buddy!!!
It’s 71° in San Diego California today so it’s not colder here but I pray that you take RJ to the vet and find out what’s wrong with him cause he doesn’t look good
Prayers for RJ and a speedy recovery 🙏🙏🙏
Awww poor RJ he's my favorite 🥰 I hope he gets better soon ❤
Poor RJ, I feel so bad for him. Hope it's not a blockage or anything like that. He seems to eat and drink but he looks really sickly. Hope he will be ok. Loved how gentle Earl was being with Kelce trying to pull the chew stick from him. Stay warm! Spring will be there soon enough.
Poor RJ I'll keep him in my prayers!😢
RJ was my fav....such a spunky fellow! He will be sorely missed!
Im sorry RJ is sick. I hope the vet can see him. Hes a blessing. Could be bloat,constpated or pnuemonia. Hopefully he can be taken care of today. All yalls animals are well taken care of. And yall love them. Enjoyed your video. Yeppers its cold for sure
Hope RJ gets well soon. He's my fave on the homestead
Hi Daniel and DJ and Family, I hope RJ gets better he's special. Stay warm.

my dogs and cat stood like that when they were having a hard time breathing. rj dosnt look right at all. i hope you were able to contact the vet.
Get the vet there to see what is wrong with him. He’s pitiful. Prayers RJ.
Prayers for RJ can’t have anything happen to him. Earl is such a trooper ♥️
Prayers for RJ and hope he is better soon.
RJ is in my prayers. He is so cute.
Healing prayers for dear RJ❤🙏 Thanks for another great video! I'm with DeJay and Emma Lee! Indoors under a blanket is the place to be❤
Poor RJ. I think a call or trip to the vet is needed. His stance is saying pain. He’s not lifting his head up at anytime he’s been on video😢 Prayers said❤ Not fun hauling water when out so frigid out. I’m loving Linda’s maternal instincts 😂. Her calendar is messed up.
No weekend or holiday would stop me from finding someone to look at such a special animal. He looks like he's in so much pain!!! 😔 But I also understand you could hurt him more by loading him up in the vehicle. Praying he gets some relief soon!!!
Prayers For R J 🙏🙏🙏
RJ's rumen may not be working properly. I know their digestive system is a bit different, but Alpacas are still ruminants. Another channel (K&S Get Out) had one of their goats get really sick and they think it had to do with him eating some of their guardian dog's food. Does RJ have access to Bear's food? If he has been munching on it, that might be a place to start.
Hope RJ continues to get better! I chuckled at you calling the water spigots, “hydrants” . We call them faucets down here in NC.❤️

❤❤❤ poor RJ, I will be praying that he feels better soon. About water in subfreezing temperatures, use your atv and load it up with 5 gallon buckets to make fewer trips back and forth ❤❤❤
By the way he is standing, it makes me think his stomach hurts. Poor RJ!
I hope you don't lose RJ. He sure is sick.
Get RJ to a vet ASAP! Abdominal pain like that is never something minor. It can be a sign of a urinary tract obstruction (a stone in the tube between the bladder and penis) which will kill him. Not drinking enough due to his water being frozen can be a cause. Could also be a bowel obstruction-same prognosis without treatment. If he got kicked in the belly he could have internal bleeding. Don’t wait. All vets have emergency coverage.

On FARM OF ROUTE 66 they have automatic watering post. The animal push a little float down with their nose to get water, and when they are done drinking, water flows back down below frost level under ground.
I’m sorry to see RJ like that because he’s always so energetic,glad to see the baby turkeys doing well and pepper so funny!
I am seriously worried about RJ, I sure am praying he'll be alright. Now that you reminded me about him jumping up on the donkeys, he actually acts like he might have been kicked in a tender area. But yeah, I hope your vet has a better idea or even better comes out to examine him. Anyways, I know when you have animals or even people,sick etc... happens. The more you have ,the more we have to go through the tuffest part. So no matter what, we love you guys & know that you love your critters & such. Now I am just rambling as I really am worried about him. If I had money I would definitely send it to you
RJ you are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏 😌 You get better😊May God Bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ you and your family 😅

I hope you have a wonderful week, stay warm and may God Bless You and Your Family.
