Overview
History and Symptoms
- Early in the infection sore appear as blisters and then become crusty scabs.
- Sores are typically found on the lips, muzzle, and in the mouth.
- Sheep and goats may get similar sores]/scabs on the lower legs and the teats, especially when ewes or does are nursing infected lambs or kids.
- Except in rare cases, animals recover completely from sore mouth infections within a month.
- Young animals may have difficulty nursing/feeding and may require bottle or tube feeding. Nursing ewes may abandon their lambs, and older animals may also require nutritional support.
- Particular breeds (e.g. Boer goats) may be especially susceptible and have severe infections.
