Llamas and alpacas are a globally expanding area of interest in the farming world, and in the UK alone now number over 50,000.

This book provides practical, everyday veterinary advice on common conditions and surgical procedures. This new edition: - Covers basic husbandry, nutrition, examination, vaccines, analgesia, anaesthesia, dermatology, and poisons; - Expands on previous zoonotic disease coverage, as well as other key issues such as biosecurity, handling, and management of these animals; - Updates advice throughout, including changes to legislation and advances in new treatments, surgical techniques, and medicines. With medical and surgical options arranged by body system for easy reference, this book is an important tool for any veterinarian to have at their disposal. It also provides an approachable and practical resource for students of veterinary medicine and animal production.
