Two adult alpacas were presented for recumbency and reluctance to rise. Cantharidin toxicosis was suspected based on clinical and ancillary diagnostic findings. The diagnosis was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of gastric contents and urine. Despite medical treatment, neither alpaca survived. Blister beetle toxicosis has not been previously described in camelids. Challenges in treatment of affected ruminants or pseudoruminants are noted.
两只成年羊驼因卧地不起和不愿站立前来就诊。根据临床和辅助诊断结果怀疑为斑蝥素中毒。通过对胃内容物和尿液进行气相色谱-质谱分析确诊。尽管进行了治疗,但两只羊驼均未存活。此前尚未有骆驼科动物发生斑蝥中毒的报道。文中指出了治疗受影响的反刍动物或类反刍动物时面临的挑战。
