Abstract

A toxic syndrome affecting both cattle and horses occurs in my practice area. A large percentage of the affected animals will respond to treatment with perfringens antitoxin (multitype B, C, & D Armour). Problem herds vaccinated with Electroid 7 ( JenSal) or perfringens toxoid are protected against this condition. Postmortem lesions are toxic hepatitis, encephalitis, nephritis, pulmonary emphysema, and enteritis. These non-specific symptoms were verified by laboratory reports.
