The episode begins with a special request from an alpaca farmer who needs Dr. Pol's help on her farm. The farmer is moving to a new location and needs to get her alpacas healthy before the move. Dr. Pol, Dr. Brenda, and Dr. Emily head out to the farm to examine the alpacas.

Upon arrival, the team begins to examine the alpacas one by one, and they discover that most of them are suffering from parasitic infections. They immediately begin treatment, but it becomes evident that some of the alpacas are severely underweight and need additional care. They decide to take a few of the alpacas back to the clinic for further treatment.

At the clinic, Dr. Pol and his team discover that the alpacas have all been suffering from malnutrition, and that the cause of their condition was poor quality hay. It becomes clear that the farmers were cutting corners by feeding the alpacas cheap hay, which resulted in their malnutrition and parasite infestations. The team devises a feeding plan for the alpacas, and with the help of the farmers, they are able to gradually nurse them back to good health.

Meanwhile, back at the clinic, Dr. Pol tends to a sick lamb that was brought in by a worried farmer.
