Summary
Acute coenurosis in lambs caused fatal neurologic signs, despite treatment. Preventive measures, including parasite control in sheepdogs, are crucial for managing this disease in semi-intensive farming.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Neurology
- Parasitology
- Sheep Husbandry
Background:
- Neurologic signs in lambs, including cachexia, blindness, and lethargy, indicated a severe underlying condition.
- A farm with a semi-intensive system reported mortality in 100-day-old mixed-breed lambs within 10 days of clinical sign onset.

400
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

148
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...
