Abstract

Neonatal care and neonatal emergencies are among the most common complaints in camelid practice. The present paper summarizes literature and the authors' experience relative to the care of the normal camelid neonate, with special emphasis on normal behavior and passive transfer of immunity. The main emergencies in South American camelids (SAC) and camels are discussed. The discussion includes congenital abnormalities, infectious and non-infectious diseases of the first week of life, and their medical management.
