Veterinary college offers full-service camelid care

Abstract

Molly's baby was sick. She wasn't eating; she was lethargic; and she had mild ataxia. The baby camel, also called a calf, needed specialized neonatal care, so her owners brought her to the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech's Harry T. Peter Jr. Large Animal Clinic in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital where faculty members are skilled in providing care to camelids, like Molly's baby.
