Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs	Moderate to severe dehydration. Abdominal pain. Depression. Melena or hematochezia. Presence of an abdominal mass or dilated loop of bowel. Frequent vomiting. Signs of systemic illness, such as: Ascites. Lymphadenopathy. Coughing.
Disease Description	In diarrhoea, the intestine fails to adequately absorb fluids, and/or secretion into the intestine is increased. Loss of fluids through diarrhoea produces dehydration and the loss of certain body salts. Diarrhoea causes a change in body tissue composition and severe depression in the animal.
Disease Control	Depending on the cause of diarrhoea, treatment options may include responsible use of antibiotics or anthelminthics, anti-inflammatories, rehydration fluids, vaccination, mineral supplementation and ration management. Note that antibiotics are only useful if the cause is a bacterial infection.
Disease Prevention	Prevention. Identifying the cause of diarrhoea in the herd will allow you to make a sound plan about how to prevent or minimise the effect. This can include reviewing rations, grazing plans, worm management and biosecurity practices.
Precautions
Procedure of Use	The animal suffering from cold and fever stops consuming fodder. There will be no water beads dropping from its mouth. And the animal stands still like a statue. To treat the condition, Narsinghbhai Damor uses 30 gram "kalivel" herb leaves and 100 gram custard apple (Annona squamosa) leaves. The leaves are mixed and crushed and 100 gram water added. From this mixture, 250 millilitre juice is extracted. This juice is drenched to the animal in the morning. The treatment is for three days and the animal will be cured of cold and fever. In four to five days the animal gets fully cured of cold and fever. This is a traditional practice.
Etiology Causative Agent	Infectious causes include: worms. viruses (e.g. bovine viral diarrhoea virus) bacteria (e.g. Salmonella or Yersinia - see the Bacterial diarrhoea heading below)
Global Context	Spread world wide
Lesson Implication	Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is most common in young cattle (6–24 mo old). ... distinguished from other viral diseases that produce diarrhea and mucosal lesions.
