  • Title: Cecal impaction due to dysautonomia in a llama (Lama glama).
    Author: Kik MJ, van der Hage MH.
    Journal: J Zoo Wildl Med; 1999 Sep; 30(3):435-8. PubMed ID: 10572871.
    Abstract:
    A llama (Lama glama) died after 1 wk of obstipation, lethargy, and rolling. Necropsy showed that the stomach and small intestine were distended with gas and fluid. The cecum was impacted with dry contents and the colon was empty. No gross lesions were found in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract or other organs. Histologic changes consisted of chromatolysis of neurons of autonomic ganglia, enteric plexi, and the accessory cuneate nucleus, consistent with lesions associated with dysautonomia in other domestic animals.
