==Description==

'''Haemorrhagic gastroenteritis''' is characterised by acute [[Stomach and Abomasum Consequences of Gastric Disease - Pathology|vomiting]] and [[Diarrhoea|diarrhoea]].  Gastrointestinal integrity is loss, resulting in a rapid movement of blood, fluid and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen.  The aetiology is unknown but it may relate to ''[[:Category:Enteropathogenic and Enterotoxaemic Clostridia|Clostridium perfringens]]'' enterotoxicosis or an immune-mediated reaction.  There is usually no history of garbage, chemical or foreign body ingestion.
