    A friend of the chiropractor who worked on one of my llamas today is a vet but unfamiliar with camelids. Because Cinnamon has arthritis in all his leg joints, she recommended an herbal anti-inflammatory regimen. Does anyone know whether or not the following herbs are safe for llamas?

    turmeric
    yucca
    Jamaican dogwood
    devil's claw
    boneset
    myrrh

    Any information you have would be very helpful.

    Also -- I am already giving Cinnamon a glucosamine and MSM formula, plus Lubrysin, and the vet prescribed three doses of Adequane as well as a course of Prednisone. (He has compressed discs in his upper spinal cord in addition to the arthritis in his legs.)

    Is there anything else anyone would recommend?

    Thanks for your help!
