Abstract

Extract

Reports of clinical canine salmonellosis in the literature are few, but invariably refer to signs of diarrhoea and enteritis (Simmons, 1951; Buxton, 1959; Hungerford, 1967). Rokey (1966), in a review of canine salmonellosis, states that the disease is being recognized with increasing frequency, and has a predilection for the very young, the old and the weak. He lists pneumonia and peritonitis as common lesions, being accompanied by such clinical signs as vomition, diarrhoea, dehydration and depression.
