VERY THOROUGH August 18, 2006
C. Salerno (Elk Grove, CA United States)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a relatively new alpaca breeder with lots of questions. This book answers many of my more detailed questions and gives good resource references that are current. The appropriate health care of alpacas has a lot of controversy, but this book is objective in presenting the data. The reading is easy and once I started reading a topic I had to finish the chapter. I believe that everyone in the alpaca business should have a chance to review this book and use it as needed.
Excellent Resource for All October 26, 1998

This book is a very thorough, comprehensive resource to South American Camelids. The book reads nicel. Besides being applicable to llama-medicine, many extrapolations can be made to non-domestic hoofstock and wildlife.

The only vet oriented lama book available. April 29, 1998

Although the book can be a dificult read for the layman, it is THE book for medical information on lamas. Dr. Fowler has been in the forefront of the llama industry since its inception in this country. This is a must have for your veterinarian if you have a lama of any kind. The only new best thing will be his new edition due to be out soon. (Lama is the genus, such as alpaca, vicuna, llama is the particular animal)
