[Alpacasite] Re: Detecting Genetic Collagen Ear Defect

Thanks Judith. Guess I will have to feel a lot of ears before I am able to tell what is
normal. Comparing left and right ears is a good starting point though, and a good
suggestion.

Best Regards,

summer and was asked to check for this defect. I guess I was as surprised as anyone
when I did indeed find an animal who had one ear that was substantially thicker than the
other, and whose ear channel was quite small in that ear. I'm sure that this was not a
"mild expression" of the defect because it was quite evident upon palpation and
examination, but how many of us have been (until now, anyway) checking their cria's ears
for normalcy?
