Flashcards
Enterotoxemia
Enterotoxemia
A serious bacterial disease in goats caused by excessive consumption of high-energy feed, leading to diarrhea, head pressing, and circling behaviors.
Lactic Acidosis
Lactic Acidosis
A metabolic disorder in dairy cattle, often caused by a sudden shift to a high-concentrate diet, resulting in sore hooves, abdominal distension, and decreased milk production.
Milk Fever
Milk Fever
A metabolic disorder in lactating sheep characterized by low calcium levels, causing muscle tremors, low body temperature, and inability to stand.

Study Notes
Animal Health Diagnoses
-
Enterotoxemia (Goats): Goats exhibiting head pressing, circling, and diarrhea. Recently consumed excess high-energy feed.
-
Lactic Acidosis (Dairy Cattle): Cows showing sore hooves, abdominal swelling, and reduced milk production. Diet recently changed from forage-based to high-concentrate diet.
-
Milk Fever (Sheep): Sheep with muscle tremors, low body temperature, and inability to stand. Animals are lactating, and have low calcium levels.
-
Grass Tetany (Cattle): Cattle displaying uncoordinated movement, convulsions. Cattle recently moved to a pasture with immature grass.
-
White Muscle Disease (Calves): Calves with muscle weakness, inability to stand, and muscle tremors. Calves deficient in selenium and/or vitamin E.
-
Bloat (Cows): Cow with difficulty moving, swollen left side of belly. Recent dietary change to a high-concentrate diet.
-
Colic (Horses): Horse rolling, kicking at belly, sweating, and exhibiting pain. Recent feed change due to a feed store changing their stock.
