Abstract:
A male dromedary camel was presented for a primary Streptococcal zooepidemicus septic peritonitis. An underlying gross lesion was not identified during abdominal exploratory surgery. The camel responded to peritoneal lavage, peritoneal drainage and systemic antibiotic therapy. Thrombophlebitis of the left jugular vein was diagnosed 14 days after surgery. The camel died of an unknown cause 24 days after surgery.
