Sixteen animals affected in 2 outbreaks of pet food-associated renal failure (2
dogs in 2004; 10 cats and 4 dogs in 2007) were evaluated for histopathologic,
toxicologic, and clinicopathologic changes. All 16 animals had clinical and
laboratory evidence of uremia, including anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, polyuria,
azotemia, and hyperphosphatemia. Where measured, serum hepatic enzyme
concentrations ... hiện toàn bộ

In 1993, noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strains with enhanced
virulence caused unprecedented outbreaks of severe acute bovine viral diarrhea
(BVD) in dairy, beef, and veal herds in Ontario (Canada). Fever, pneumonia,
diarrhea, and sudden death occurred in all age groups of cattle. Abortions often
occurred in pregnant animals. Gross lesions in the alimentary tract were similar

Diagnosis of Clostridium Perfringens Intestinal Infections in Sheep and Goats Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 253-265 - 2008
Francisco A. Uzal, J. Glenn Songer
Clostridium perfringens produces enteric diseases, generically called
enterotoxemias, in sheep, goats, and other animals. This microorganism can be a

when the intestinal environment is altered by sudden changes in diet or other
factors, C. perfringens proliferates and produces potent toxins that act locally
or are abs... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Genotypes and Antibody against those Viral Genotypes in Fetal Bovine Serum Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 135-139 - 1998
Steven R. Bolin, Julia F. Ridpath
One thousand lots of pooled fetal bovine serum (FBS) were tested for
contamination with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and/or for contamination
with neutralizing antibody against BVDV. Noncytopathic or cytopathic BVDV was
isolated from 203 lots of FBS. Analysis of the viral isolates identified 115
type 1 and 65 type 2 BVDV isolates. An additional 23 virus isolates were
mixtures of >2 BVDV isol... hiện toàn bộ

Since mid- 1989, 37 cases of oleander poisoning in livestock have been diagnosed
at the California Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory System. The most frequent
source for oleander exposure was plant clippings. Sudden death was the most
common presenting complaint. Other signs reported included diarrhea, pulmonary
edema, tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, colic, and lethargy. In the past, a
