Coanal Atresia

Although quite rare, this respiratory defect atresia is probably the most well known birth defect in camelids. At birth, an obstruction is present between the nasal cavity and the throat which prevents the cria from breathing with its mouth closed. As a result, they cannot nurse and breathe at the same time.
