Neurologic diseases of llamas.
Supportive care, including physical therapy, is the key to successful treatment of neurologic disorders in llamas. Be sure to eliminate the possibility of myopathies, especially heat stress, metabolic, skeletal, neuromuscular, or other disorders. Prevention of secondary pressure sores can be challenging. Keep the patient comfortable and well fed. A happy patient is more likely to recover!
