==Bacterial septicaemia and enteritis==
* Some severe acute septicaemias cause very severe acute haemorrhagic enteritis with bleeding into the [[Alimentary - Anatomy & Physiology|alimentary tract]].
* Death is usually rapid.
* Fairly easy to diagnose
** [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|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|''Bacillus anthracis'']]).
** '''Leptospirosis''' in dogs.
*** Especially [[Leptospira|''L. icterohaemorrhagiae'']].
* Do not confuse with [[Warfarin Poisoning|warfarin poisoning]].
** Also gives blood in [[Forestomach - Anatomy & Physiology|stomach]] and intestine BUT there are no signs of inflammatory disease.[[Category:Enteritis,_Bacterial]][[Category:Enteritis,_Fibrinous/Haemorrhagic]]
