*[[Intestines Catarrhal Enteritis - Pathology#"Pulpy Kidney" Disease|Pulpy kidney disease]] in well-fed 3-10 week-old lambs
*Follows overeating high grain diet or luchious pasture
*Starch from partially digested food enterering the intestine from the rumen allows rapid clostridial proliferation
*Epsilon toxin activated by proteolytic enzymes causes toxaemia
*Epsilon toxin increases intestinal and capillary permeability; also alpha toxin
*Lambs found dead or with opisthotonos, convulsions, coma in acute phases
*Blindness and head pressing in subacute disease; bloat in later stages
*Hyperglycaemia, glycosuria
*Post mortem: hyperaemia in intestine; fluid in pericardial sac; kidney autolysis with pulpy cortical softening (acute death)
*Subacute death causes symmetrical encephalomalacia and haemorrhage in basal ganglia and midbrain
*Enterotoxaemia in kids and adult goats
