Abstract
Extract
An ancient treatment for pregnancy toxaemia was to drive the affected sheep until they either recovered or died. Numerous other treatments are recorded in the literature, but no precise figures for recovery rates are quoted to enable comparisons to be made with more recent methods. Failure to produce a rational treatment results from the unknown aetiology of the disease. Many reports of successful treatments have been based on trials with inadequate numbers of affected sheep and some have not included untreated controls.
