Abstract

Abstract
An adult sheep was presented to the clinic with complaint of inappetence, respiratory distress and weakness. Examination of the sheep revealed pyrexia, tachycardia, tachypnea, pale mucous membrane, harsh and crackles while auscultation of lungs. Postmortem examination of the sheep revealed consolidations of the lung lobes, frothy exudates along the trachea, bronchi and smears from the lungs revealed presence of Pasteurella organisms. All the sheep in the flock showing the similar signs were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug along with supportive therapy.
Keywords: Pasteurella, pneumonia, sulpha drugs, sheep
