   −
Lamb dysentery often presents as sudden death of lambs less than 2-3 weeks old<sup>sargison, lewis, merk, songer</sup>. When clinical signs are seen, these include cessation of suckling, depression and recumbency<sup>merck</sup>. Animals suffer acute abdominal pain, and semi-fluid blood-stained faeces may be passed<sup>sargison, leis merck, sanger</sup>. However, the rapid course of disease means that faeces are often observed to be normal. In 2-3 week old lambs, lamb dysentery may present with non-specific neurological signs<sup>sargison</sup>.
