XX/XY chimerism of blood cells and freemartinism may be identified in femal
e llamas born co-twin to males. Females of opposite-sex twins should be exa
mined at birth for vaginal patency.
Freemartinism should be suspected in female llamas with undeveloped interna
l genital organs even if they were apparent single births, because a male t
win may have been conceived but died during gestation.
