Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To assess radiologically the caudal vertebrae of a male alpaca with an abnormal tail, and nine of his offspring.
PROCEDURE:
Right lateral and ventrodorsal radiographs were taken of the caudal vertebrae.
RESULTS:
The caudal vertebral abnormalities in these alpacas included vertebral subluxation, hemivertebrae, wedge hemivertebrae and block vertebrae.
CONCLUSION:
These malformations in offspring of one sire suggest a hereditary basis for congenital caudal vertebral malformations in the alpaca.
