Gastric Ulcers in Alpacas— Clinical, Laboratory, and Pathological Findings

Abstract: Gastric ulcers are a common finding in post-mortem examinations of South American camelids (SAC), but diagnosis in living animals is often difficult. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the incidence of gastric ulcers in alpacas, common concomitant diseases, and clinical as well as laboratory findings to facilitate diagnosis for veterinarians. For this purpose, a total of 187 necropsy reports of alpacas were evaluated, including clinical and laboratory findings on the living animal. A total of … Show more

“…Da Koliksymptome bei Neuweltkamelen zudem andere Ursachen wie zum Beispiel Magengeschwüre [33][34][35], Urolithiasis [36] oder die Torsion anderer Abdominalorgane wie zum Beispiel des graviden Uterus [37] oder der Milz [38] haben können, ist in einem akuten Fall mit Verdacht auf eine Hernia diaphragmatica auch eine diagnostische Laparotomie in Erwägung zu ziehen.…”

“…Damage to the gastric mucosa can result in massive intraluminal bleeding, which can be detected by faecal occult blood tests. In SACs, gastric ulcers are a common problem, but they do not lead to anaemia in every case, and an occult blood test does not provide a reliable result (Neubert et al 2022 ; Smith et al 1994 ; Whitehead 2013 ).…”

“…Many alpacas and llamas presented to the clinic suffered from emaciation or cachexia on the subsequent pathological examination (Neubert 2022 ; Neubert et al 2022 ). In cachectic animals, the haematopoietic activity of the bone marrow may be reduced, resulting in non-regenerative anaemia (Pointer et al 2013 ; Travlos 2006 ).…”
