Enterotoxemia (Overeating Disease) in Goats

Source: D. Van Meter 1 (5/2010)

Entertoxemia is a serious disease that frequently affects sheep and goats of all ages. The causative bacteria are present in relatively low numbers and appear to be in a relatively quiescent state in normal, healthy animals.
Treatment may not be successful in severe cases. Prevention of enterotoxemia is much more likely to be successful than trying to treat the disease.

Enterotoxemia is an often severe disease in sheep and goats of all ages. It is caused by two types of bacteria called Clostridium perfringens - the types are called types C and D. These bacteria are normally found in small amounts in the digestive tract of all sheep and goats.
