Tan RH, Dascanio JJ Infertility associated with persistent hymen in an alpaca and a llama. [Journal Article] Can Vet J 2008 Nov; 49(11):1113-7.
Perforation and dilation of the persistent hymen in an alpaca and a llama, detected by vaginal examination and endoscopy, was achieved by use of a sigmoidoscope and incremental dilation using cylindrical instruments to a maximum diameter of 38 mm. Outcome and subsequent fertility are dependent on length of time the obstruction has been present and secondary uterine disease.
