Clostridial infection if foal (horse)
Clostridium perfringens is a bacteria that causes inflammation of the small and large intestine in young foals. The disease progresses rapidly, requires intensive medical care, and has a high mortality rate. Foals are often exposed to the bacteria in contaminated feces.
Vitamin d toxicity.
The main consequence of vitamin D toxicity is a buildup of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. Vitamin D toxicity might progress to bone pain and kidney problems, such as the formation of calcium stones.

Urethral obstruction?
A ureteral obstruction is a blockage in one or both of the tubes (ureters) that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder. Ureteral obstruction can be curable. However, if it’s not treated, symptoms can quickly move from mild — pain, fever and infection — to severe — loss of kidney function, sepsis and death
Felv (feline leukemia virus)
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is one of the most important infectious diseases of cats worldwide. Affected cats can develop anemia (a low red blood cell level), cancers, and/or suppression of the immune system. The disease worsens over time and is usually fatal.
Felv (feline leukemia virus) clinical signs.
- anemia
- cancer (especially lymphoma and leukemia)
- suppression of the immune system (increasing the risk of other infections)
- immune-mediated disease (in which the cat’s immune system causes damage to its own cells)
- reproductive problems (loss of pregnancy and “fading kitten” syndrome)
- intestinal inflammation, neurologic disorders (including nerve dysfunction and blindness)
- stomatitis (severe inflammation in the mouth)
Felv (feline leukemia virus) transmission.
Feline leukemia virus is transmitted between cats via infected saliva and urine. Direct contact with these body fluids, mutual grooming, shared litter boxes and food dishes, and fighting (bite wounds) all expose uninfected cats to the virus. To become infected, cats typically require prolonged, repeated exposure to the virus. Mother cats can also transmit the virus to their kittens while they are in the womb and through breast milk. It is likely that the transmission from a mother to her kittens is the greatest source of infection. Young kittens have the highest risk for catching the virus, whereas adults may have some inherent protection. However, cats of all ages can catch the virus and develop the disease.
Cppp (Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia) etiology
- Mycoplasma capricolum capripneumoniae (Mycoplasma biotype F38) is the causative agent.
- It appears to be transmitted by infective aerosol.
- Morbidity can be 100%, and mortality 60%–100%.
- Introduced into a new region by healthy carriers.
Cppp (Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia) clinical signs.
- Weakness, anorexia, cough, hyperpnea, and nasal discharge accompanied by fever (104.5°–106°F [40.5°–41.5°C]) are often found.
- Exercise intolerance progresses to respiratory distress, with open-mouth breathing and frothy salivation.
- A septicemic form of the disease without specific respiratory tract involvement has been described.
Cppp (Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia) lesions.
- excess of straw-colored pleural exudate and acute fibrinous pneumonia.
- Consolidation is sometimes confined to one lung.
- Distention of interlobular septa by serofibrinous fluid, commonly seen in infections caused by M mycoides capri, is rarely seen in contagious caprine pleuropneumonia.
- In antibiotic-treated or recovered animals, the predominant lesion is a sequestrum similar to that seen in contagious bovine pleuropneumonia.
Cppp (Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia) diagnosis
- clinical signs, epidemiology, and necropsy findings are used to establish a diagnosis.
- causative organism should be isolated and identified, but isolation may be difficult, and special media is required for culture.
- PCR, which can be performed directly on the pleural fluid or affected lung, has greatly facilitated the diagnosis of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia.
- Serologic tests are complement fixation, passive hemagglutination, and ELISA; the latex agglutination test can be done in the field directly on whole blood as well as on serum samples in the laboratory.
- Serologic cross-reactions may occur with other members of the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster.
Cppp (Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia) control
- Quarantine of affected flocks is desirable.
- Vaccines are available in some countries, and good to excellent protection has been reported.
- Treatment with tylosin at 10 mg/kg/day, IM, for 3 days, has been effective, as has oxytetracycline (15 mg/kg).
How do young goat
(european dairy breeds) acquire the CAE (Caprine arthritis encephalitis) infection?
Feeding of infected milk and colostrum
CAE (Caprine arthritis encephalitis)
A neurologic form of the disease is seen in young goats, usually 2–4 mo old but as old as 1 yr. It is characterized by a progressive paresis with incoordination leading to paralysis, usually involving the hindlimbs and later the forelimbs.
- In older, adult goats, the virus infection manifests as a chronic, progressive arthritis involving one or more joints and usually involving the carpal joints.
- The initial sign is usually swelling of the affected joint(s), followed by progressive degeneration of articular and periarticular tissues with calcification, leading to decreased range of motion, ankylosis, and overt loss of mobility.

IBH (inclusion body hepatitis) vs IBD( infectious bursal disease).
IBH -caused by fowl adenoviruses. Clinical signs are nonspecific but often include a sudden increase in mortality. Gross lesions include a swollen liver containing multiple pale or hemorrhagic foci and hydropericardium. Definitive diagnosis is usually made by histopathology or PCR. There is no treatment, but prevention is achieved by vaccination.
IBD - seen in young domestic chickens worldwide and is caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV/ birnavirus). Signs can include depression, watery diarrhea, ruffled feathers, and dehydration. Morbidity is high and mortality is usually low, but some very virulent strains are capable of causing 60% or higher mortality. Macroscopic and microscopic lesions in the cloacal bursa and molecular identification of the viral genome are used to diagnosis the disease. Vaccination to induce maternal immunity in young chicks is initially used to control the disease. Vectored and live-attenuated vaccines can be used to induce active immunity in chicks as the maternal antibodies wane.

FAdV (especially FAdV-1)
HORSE MYELOPATHY
- Cervical stenotic myelopathy (CSM) is one of the most common causes of spinal ataxia in young horses. The layman’s term for CSM is wobbler syndrome.
- Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is caused by CNS infection of equids with either of the apicomplexan protozoa Sarcocystis neurona or Neospora hughesi. Common clinical signs are asymmetric ataxia and weakness of limbs and regional neurogenic muscle atrophy. Less common signs are obtundation, seizures, facial paralysis, head tilt, and other signs of cranial nerve dysfunction. Serologic support for the diagnosis is obtained using serum:CSF titer ratios for ELISA or indirect fluorescent antibody tests. EPM is treated with antiprotozoal drugs and immunomodulators.
BOVINE VIRAL DIARHEA
- Bovine viral diarrhea/mucosal disease is a pestivirus infection of cattle and other ruminants.
- Infection leads to immunosuppression and can cause signs in multiple body systems in addition to the digestive tract.
- Mucosal disease is an uncommon form of infection in persistently infected cattle and is typically fatal.
- Clinical signs range from inapparent infection to fever, depression, decreased milk production, abortion, diarrhea, and death.
- Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, virus isolation, serology, and PCR. Treatment consists of supportive care. Improved biosecurity and vaccines are used for prevention and control.
REMEMBER: BOVINE VIRAL DIARHEA
BVD must be distinguished from other viral diseases that produce diarrhea and mucosal lesions. These include malignant catarrhal fever, which usually is a sporadic disease in more mature cattle, bluetongue, and rinderpest, which is currently considered to be eradicated worldwide.
Clinical Findings and Lesions of Bovine Viral Diarrhea
Infection of immunocompetent susceptible animals with either noncytopathic or cytopathic BVDV is termed acute or transient BVD. Inapparent or subclinical infection without any clinical signs that is followed by seroconversion is the most common form of infection in the field. Acute clinical disease may range from mild disease of high morbidity and low mortality to severe enteric disease with considerable mortality. Biphasic fever (~104°F [40°C]), depression, decreased milk production, transient inappetence, rapid respiration, excessive nasal secretion, excessive lacrimation, and diarrhea are typical signs of acute clinical BVD.
Clinical Findings and Lesions of Bovine Viral Diarrhea
Clinical signs of disease usually are seen 6–12 days after infection and last 1–3 days. Transient leukopenia may be seen with onset of signs of disease. Recovery is rapid and coincides with production of viral neutralizing antibody. Gross lesions seldom are seen in cases of mild disease. Lymphoid tissue is a primary target for replication of BVDV, which may lead to immunosuppression and enhanced severity of intercurrent infections.
Associated with another disease, what is the pathognomonic sign of hemorrhagic septicemia?
Mucopurulent, subcutaneous swelling in the pharyngeal region
Computation of wbc
Calculations:
- One large area is 1 x 1 mm, and the depth is 0.1 mm.
- Total area counted in 4 large squares = 4 x 1 x o. 1 = 0.4 µL (4/10).
- Y x 10/4 is the total WBC in the cell in 1 µL.
- Now dilution is 1:20.
- Number of WBC in 1µL = Y x 10 x 20/4 = Y x 50 = Total WBC count.
- Total TLC = counted cells (Y) x 50 = TLC/cmm.

Principal indicator of liver damage?
a. Sgot
b. Sgpt
c. *
b. Sgpt - ALT test measures the level of alanine aminotransferase, also called ALT or SGPT. ALT is one of the enzymes that help the liver convert food into energy. High levels of these enzymes can be a sign that the liver is injured or irritated, and the enzymes are leaking out of the liver cells.
Sgot -The SGOT test is a blood test that’s part of a liver profile. It measures one of two liver enzymes, called serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase. This enzyme is now usually called AST, which stands for aspartate aminotransferase. An SGOT test (or AST test) evaluates how much of the liver enzyme is in the blood.

Technical update: Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT)
HEALTH & DISEASETREATMENTS AND PREVENTIONPOULTRY HEALTH
by 5m Editor
7 January 2019, at 12:00am
Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a viral respiratory disease caused by an herpesvirus of chickens and some other gallinaceous birds (e.g. pheasants, peafowl). It is an economically significant disease in commercial egg producing flocks, with an essentially global distribution. In regions where ILT is endemic, the commercial poultry industry is faced with multimillion-dollar losses as a result of mortality, egg production losses, and decreased bird growth [1].
