Zwerchfellhernie bei einer Alpakastute (Vicugna pacos)

Zusammenfassung

Eine 3-jährige hochträchtige Alpakastute fiel nach der Schur durch vermehrtes Liegen und verminderte Futteraufnahme auf. Zwölf Tage nach der Schur kam es zum Abort eines fast vollständig entwickelten Fohlens. Nach weiteren 2 Tagen kam die Stute zum Festliegen und verendete anschließend während des Transports in die Klinik. In der Sektion des Tierkörpers konnte eine Zwerchfellhernie festgestellt werden. Zwerchfellhernien wurden bei vielen Tierarten beschrieben, die Diagnose kann mittels Röntgen oder Ultraschall gestellt werden. Je nach Ausmaß kann eine chirurgische Therapie erfolgreich sein.

Abstract

A 3-year-old pregnant female alpaca was noticed due to increased lying and decreased feed intake after shearing. Twelve days after shearing, she aborted an almost completely developed cria. After another two days, the alpaca was recumbent and subsequently died during transport to the clinic. A dissection of the carcass revealed a diaphragmatic hernia. Diaphragmatic hernias have been described in many different species, diagnosis can be made by radiography or ultrasound. Depending on the extent, surgical therapy may be successful.
