Footrot in Sheep
Footrot is a contagious bacterial disease causing painful underrunning of hoof horn and major welfare and production losses.
Ketosis in Dairy Cattle
Ketosis occurs when energy demand in early lactation exceeds intake and excessive fat mobilisation leads to ketone accumulation.
Clinical Mastitis in Dairy Cattle
Clinical mastitis ranges from abnormal milk with little systemic illness to severe toxic disease and has both individual-cow and herd implications.
Exertional Rhabdomyolysis in Horses
Exertional rhabdomyolysis describes exercise-associated skeletal muscle injury and may be sporadic or recurrent.
Equine Recurrent Uveitis
Equine recurrent uveitis is an immune-mediated ocular disease characterised by repeated episodes of intraocular inflammation and risk of blindness.
Equine Asthma
Equine asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway syndrome ranging from mild performance-limiting disease to severe respiratory distress.
Pyothorax in Cats
