Abstract
A 9-year-old, intact male llama with mild ataxia and generalized malaise of
1 month's duration was euthanized following clinical evaluation. Excessive
liver copper concentrations were found in the llama and also in clinically
normal herdmates. This case documents multiple animals with increased hepa
tic stores from standard diets: and mineral supplements.
