Our Walker

Dr. Jon Gieche majored in physics before deciding to become a veterinarian. He loves thinking outside the box and developing medical equipment to better match the needs of his patients. In one such case, he constructed a walker for a down llama requiring physical therapy to recover. It worked wonders and our walker is now available for future cases. If your llama or alpaca experiences a limb or neural injury that requires assisted walking, our walker is available for in hospital care and may be leased for use outside of the hospital under certain circumstances. If you are interested in this equipment for one of your llamas or alpacas, call (262)495-2799 for more information.
