| 中文描述 | 垂涎症候群是一種昏睡，口腔黏膜過多，有些病例還有擴大的腹部的症候群。鑑於一週齡以下的小綿羊，最常影響出生後12-72小時的小綿羊。最早的報告來自英國。一個報告顯示41％的垂涎症病例死亡。有些死後的報告有出現胎糞和擴大的腹部內有液體。認為是初乳攝取不足的小綿羊吃到大腸桿菌產生的內毒素有關。下痢不常見。 |
| 英文描述 | Watery mouth is a syndrome of lethargy, excessive mucous around the mouth, and in some cases a distended abdomen. Seen in lambs under a week of age, with most affected lambs 12-72 hours old. Reported primarily from Britain. In one study 41% of watery mouth cases died. At post mortem some report persistence of meconium and abomasal distention with fluid. Believed to be caused by endotoxemia associated with the ingestion of ESCHERICHIA COLI by colostrum-deficient lambs. Diarrhea is uncommon. |
