===Positioning===

Camelids can be placed in any position although thought should be used to minimise the risk of complications. When in left lateral recumbancy, regurgitation is more likely then when the patient is in right lateral recumbancy. Appropriate padding should be used to minimise risk of development of postsurgical paralysis. Dorsal recumbancy should be avoided if possible, unless endotracheal intubation is possible, as the abdominal contents pushes forward onto the diaphragm and lungs restricting thoracic movement, thereby restricting breathing and cardiac output.
