A DRUG REGIMEN FOR LEPTOSPIROSIS TREATMENT IN CATTLE
SYMPTOMS
Temperature 40- 41.5oC, dullness, anorexia, depression, paler to icterus mucous membrane, hypogalactia, some cases showed hydraemia and arching of back while micturition. The disease was recorded as acute and subacute form. Random urine and serum samples were collected. Clinical and laboratory diagnosis confirmed the L. pomona.
