Heartwater (Also called Cowdriosis)

1. Cause (Etiology)
Heartwater is caused by a bacteria-like organism called Ehrlichia ruminatum. It is spread by ticks, especially the Amblyomma ticks.

2. Economic importance.
- Sudden deaths of valuable animals
- Loss of productivity (milk, meat)
- Expensive treatment and prevention
- Loss of young stock

3. Transmission
- Spread through bites from infected Amblyomma ticks
- Ticks pick it from infected animals and spread to others
- Not spread directly between animals

4. Animals affected
- Cattle
- Goats
- Sheep
- Wild ruminants (less often)

5. Clinical signs.

Per-Acute form (Very fast):
- Sudden death
- Convulsions
- Diarrhea

Sub-Acute form:
- High fever lasting days
- Coughing
- Breathing difficulty (fluid in lungs)
- May recover or die in 1–2 weeks

Subclinical form
- Seen in resistant breeds
- Mild fever or no signs

6. Postmortem lesions (After death)
- Fluid around the heart (hydropericardium)
- Fluid in chest (hydrothorax)
- Fluid in abdomen (ascites)
- Small bleeding spots in intestines (petechiae, hemorrhages)
- Brain swelling and congestion

7. Differential diagnosis (Look-alike diseases)
- Rabies
- Tetanus
- Poisoning
- Meningitis
- Babesiosis
- East Coast Fever (ECF)

8. Prevention
- Regular tick control (spraying, dipping)
- Use tick-free pastures when possible
- Isolate and monitor new or sick animals
- Early RX with oxytetracycline helps save infected animals. But late RX after nervous signs is not effective.

Note:
Early detection and veterinary help are key to reducing losses from Heartwater.

Uterine prolapse is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition in cattle, most commonly occurring shortly after calving. It involves the uterus turning inside out and protruding from the v***a. This condition requires immediate veterinary attention to prevent severe complications such as shock, infection, or death.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐔𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐞?
Several factors can contribute to uterine prolapse in cows:

Difficult or prolonged labor (dystocia)

Excessive straining during or after calving

Low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia)

Retained placenta

Weak uterine tone

𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬:
A large, red, fleshy mass hanging from the cow’s v***a

Restlessness, discomfort, or signs of shock

In severe cases, the uterus may drag on the ground, leading to trauma and contamination

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐃𝐨?
Uterine prolapse is a true emergency. Here's what farmers should do:

1. Keep the uterus clean and moist with a clean cloth and saline or sugar water.

2. Do not attempt to correct it yourself unless trained—incorrect handling can cause irreversible damage.

3. Call a veterinarian immediately.

𝐕𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬:
Cleaning and disinfecting the uterus

Gently replacing it back into the abdomen

Administering calcium, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories

Sometimes placing sutures to prevent recurrence

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬:
Proper nutrition during late pregnancy

Mineral supplementation, especially calcium and phosphorus

Timely assistance during calving

Avoid over-conditioning of pregnant cows

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭:
Uterine prolapse is a condition that reflects the importance of proper cattle management, nutrition, and timely veterinary care. Prompt action not only saves the cow but also prevents major economic loss for the farmer.

Let’s talk about NEWCASTLE VACCINE.
Firstly what is Newcastle disease? Well it’s a viral infection of all domestic birds that affects the respiratory, digestive and nervous system of birds. The disease causes signs of coughing, gasping (birds opening their mouth when breathing), mucous discharge from the nostrils on the beak, diarrhea, ruffled feathers, twisting of the neck, eventually paralysis of the legs then collapse of the lungs and death.
The virus is very infectious and contagious such that if infection enters the flock of 100 birds today, all of them will be infected after 24hrs and they will start dying 72hrs after that.
The Newcastle vaccine(La Sota strain) is an attenuated (reduced in ability to cause disease) vaccine. This is why the vaccine should be given only to HEALTHY chicks 14 days or older, after or during vaccination a stress pack can be given to the chicks to reduce vaccination stress. The vaccine is very effective in preventing the spread of Newcastle disease among birds if it is administered and stored properly (in refrigeration at about 2-8 degrees Celsius).
Vaccination of chickens is very important to prevent mortality and increase survival rates.

A quark vet went to deworm someone's herd of dairy goats and left all of them down.

He used nitroxynil (Fluconix) and administered between 3 to 5 mls.

Sadly, 33 out of 35 goats have died.
Kindly get to know whoever you call to help your livestock. Not all are qualified.
Farmers be cautious !!!!!!

If you're not a vet please stay away from animals 🙏💪
