Abstract: A rare clinical case of an acute kidney injury after oleander leaves ingestion in llama (Lama glama) was the aim of the current report. Oleander (Nerium oleander) is a highly toxic plant and as little as 10 to 20 leaves can be lethal for an adult horse or cow. Despite the well –known arrhythmogenic effects of the oleander, manifesting in the case as a bradyarrhythmia, an acute kidney insufficiency with anuria was the key point. The patient demonstrated oliguria–anuria with extremely high creatinine blood level (up to 1167.0 μmol/l) for sev-eral days. Standard therapeutical regimen was followed, including fluid therapy. Despite the unfavorable prog-nosis, complete clinical recovery occurred.
