| 英文描述 | Sources of lead include paint, used motor oil, batteries, grease, lead caulking and other sources. Dx by blood lead levels. Although pigs can be poisoned with high levels of lead experimentally, they are quite resistent, and field cases of lead toxicity in pigs are rare. Fatal lead toxicity in goats is not usually preceded by signs seen in other ruminants. Calcium EDTA has been used for treatment of lead toxicity in cattle, but in experimental lead toxicosis EDTA alone was not as effective in reducing neurologic signs as treatment with thiamine or thiamine plus EDTA; treatment with both is indicated. |
