Hypomagnesemia in Cattle is a complex metabolic disturbance by reduced concentration of magnesium in blood and CSF, which lead to hyper-excitability, muscular spasms, convulsions, respiratory distress, collapse, and death.
Neonatal Hypoglycemia also known as baby pig disease. It is a common cause of death in newborn piglets. It can occur when piglets don’t get enough milk.
Pregnancy toxemia in sheep is multi factorial disorder of energy metabolism. Hypoglycemia and hyperketonemia are the primary metabolic disturbances in pregnancy toxemia.
Bovine Ketosis is a multifactorial disorder of energy metabolism. Negative energy balance results in hypoglycemia, ketonemia (the accumulation in blood of acetoacetate, β- hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and their decarboxylation products acetone and isopropanol) and ketonuria.
Downer cow syndrome (DCS) is a complication of the recumbency associated with milk fever but not limited to. A delay of 4 hour or more in that treatment of cows with milk fever may result in ischemic necrosis of the muscles of the pelvic limbs and further complication that make animal recumbent with disorders for unlimited period of time.
Hypocalcemia in Sows Sows (female pigs) are occasionally suffered with hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia in sow develops MMA complex (Mastitis, Metritis, Agalactia). Etiology and clinical signs are similar to milk fever in cow. High temperature, swollen mammary gland, uterine discharge, loss of appetite and toxemia are some clinical signs can be observed. Respond well with calcium therapy
Hypocalcemia in Ewes and Does Hypocalcemia in ewes and does is less common production disease. Etiology Risk Factors and Disease Susceptibility: Clinical Signs Diagnosis Diagnosis is similar to milk fever in cow. Treatment In sheep and goats, the recommended dose of calcium is 15-20 g IV with an optional 5-10 g SC.
Eclampsia in Bitches Eclampsia in bitches also known as puerperal tetany, milk fever or hypocalcemia in bitches (female dogs). Eclampsia is an acute life threatening condition caused by extreme hypocalcemia in lactating bitches. Common in small breed dogs having more litter size. It occurs mostly at 2-3 weeks of lactation, when milk production is at
Lactation Tetany of Mares Lactation tetany of mares also known as eclampsia and transport tetany in mares (female horses). Lactation tetany of mares is caused by hypocalcemia and is characterized by abnormal behaviour progressing to in coordination and tetany. Etiology It occurs after prolonged exertion or transport and in lactating mares due to acute depletion
Milk Fever in Cows Milk fever in cows is also known as Parturient paresis or Hypocalcaemia. It is a metabolic disease of adult females that occurs most commonly around the time of parturition and is characterised by hypocalcaemia, severe muscle weakness, sternal recumbency, and lateral recumbency. Etiology The principle cause of milk fever is a
