title: [Llamas--sedation and anesthesia (review article)].
abstract: Increasing is the number of Llamas (Llama glama) referred to veterinarians for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures which frequently require sedation or anaesthesia. Much of the knowledge concerning sedation and anaesthesia of domesticated ruminants and horses can be applied to sedate or anaesthetise a llama. A variety of considerations remain special for the llama. The article reviews all aspects of today's knowledge about sedation and anaesthesia of llamas.
