Bacterial septicaemia and enteritis
- Some severe acute septicaemias cause very severe acute haemorrhagic enteritis with bleeding into the alimentary tract.
- Death is usually rapid.
- Fairly easy to diagnose
- small intestine is full of dark, tarry, partly clotted blood (like black currant jelly).
- Associated with severe systemic disease, e.g.
- Anthrax in cattle (Bacillus anthracis).
- Leptospirosis in dogs.
- Especially L. icterohaemorrhagiae.
- Do not confuse with Anticoagulant Rodenticide Toxicity.
- Also gives blood in stomach and intestine BUT there are no signs of inflammatory disease.
