Overview

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.
