A 9-year-old, intact male llama with mild ataxia and generalized malaise of 1 month's duration was euthanized following clinical evaluation. Excessive liver copper concentrations were found in the llama and also in clinically normal herdmates. This case documents multiple animals with increased hepatic stores from standard diets and mineral supplements.
一头9岁的未阉割雄性美洲驼，出现轻度共济失调和持续1个月的全身不适，经临床评估后实施安乐死。在这头美洲驼以及临床正常的同群动物中均发现肝脏铜浓度过高。该病例证明，多只动物因标准日粮和矿物质补充剂导致肝脏铜储备增加。
