Acute respiratory distress syndrome in an alpaca cria

Katharine M Simpson et al. Can Vet J. 2011 Jul.

Abstract
in English, French

A 7-hour-old alpaca was presented for lethargy and depression. The cria responded favorably to initial treatment but developed acute-onset dyspnea 48 hours later. Acute respiratory distress syndrome was diagnosed by thoracic imaging and blood gas analysis. The cria was successfully treated with corticosteroids and discharged from the hospital.

Syndrome de détresse respiratoire aiguë chez un cria alpaga. Un alpaga âgé de 7 heures a été présenté en raison d’abattement et de dépression. Le cria a réagi favorablement au traitement initial mais a développé une dyspnée d’apparition aiguë 48 heures plus tard. Le syndrome de détresse respiratoire aiguë a été diagnostiqué par imagerie thoracique et gazométrie sanguine. Le cria a été traité avec succès à l’aide de corticostéroïdes et a reçu son congé.
