| Abstract: | An outbreak of white liver disease in lambs in Western Australia is described. The disease affected 2- to 3-month-old lambs and was characterised by liver damage, severe ill-thrift, depression, serous ocular discharge, photosensitisation, and a high mortality rate. Transient central nervous system signs occurred. A positive response to vitamin B12 therapy was demonstrated. |
