Three days after calving, a four-year-old Friesian cow became acutely ill, with brisket and submandibular oedema. She was stiff and grunted with respiration. Peritoneal fluid withdrawn from a site 5 cm cranial and 5 cm medial to the milk well had a TP of 48 g/l and an NCC of 37 ×109/l. A cytospun smear of the peritoneal fluid was prepared (Wright–Giemsa, ×50 oil).
