Abstract

Disturbances of the postpartum period can occur in all female livestock, of which uterine prolapse is the most commonly diagnosed. The author decided to describe his own case of uterine prolapse in a female alpaca and one of the possible treatments. Knowing the reasons for its occurrence and performing appropriate and quick therapy reduces the risk of consequences resulting from later and occasionally an incorrect diagnosis and treatment. It also contributes to the preservation of proper subsequent female oestrus cycles, and its fertility.
