| Abstract: | Extract Sir,—In an earlier communication (N.Z. Vet. J., 11: 125, 1963), I reported a case of Sleepy Foal disease with atypical symptoms which were toxaemia and pain that became so acute that humane destruction was necessary within thirty-six hours. The only lesions evident on post-mortem examination were multiple glomerular abscesses in the renal cortex. These were considered to be haematogenous in origin and to have developed ante-parturiently. The causal organism was Actinobacillus equuli (Bact. viscosum equi). |
