I am a vet and an owner of llamas and guanacoes and this book was recommended by members of the British Camelid Veterinary Society. It is packed with very useful information for keeping my animals healthy. I am delighted with it.

Pretty heavy duty and oriented towards a veterinary audience but a good reference for those looking to understand the intricacies of camelids and the various diseases that can affect them. Lots of pictures…
