Control of liver abscesses in lambs by using marbofloxacin
Abstract
We describe cases of liver abscesses in a group of newborn lambs. Diagnosis was based on the combination of clinical signs with the findings of ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen: oval, hypoechoic structure with regular borders in the liver of the affected lambs. Administration of marbofloxacin (dose rate: 3.0 mg per kg body weight, on three occasions, once daily, two days apart) was effective for treatment; three weeks later, the affected lambs were clinically health.
