Baby Alpaca Learns to Walk Again Thanks to Prosthetic Leg in Adorable ClipAn alpaca has been given a second chance at life, thanks to a custom prosthetic leg.While the veterinary surgeon first wanted to remove the leg at the shoulder, Barnett and her husband, John, convinced the team to keep the upper leg so that Cinco had a chance of a fitted prosthesis."I don't think he knew what an alpaca was at that time, but he agreed he would see what he could do," Barnett said: "He had previously made a prosthetic for a dog and a horse but otherwise did not have much experience working with animals.""Paul used donated parts for the leg except for the socket, which had to be made custom from a cast of Cinco's stump," said Barnett: "It has an adjustable-height pylon to adapt to his growing height.""Most importantly, we will do everything to make Cinco as comfortable and happy as we can and help him live out as normal a life as is possible.""
