R. aNoninfectious causes of lameness (above the foot) in sheep and goats. c1983 aEdição Symposium on Sheep and Goat Medicine, 1983. aLameness above the foot can result from infection, trauma, and deficiency disease. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves may be afflieted. In many situations the primary concern will be to determine if the problem has the potential for involving a group of animals, particularly if the cause is an infectious or deficiency disease. However, with the increased value of the individual purebred animal, correction of an injury becomes more of a possibility. Diagnosis and prognosis require a thorough physical examination as well as the use of special procedures. asheep aCaprino aDoença Animal aOvino aDisease aGoat tVeterinary Clinics of North America: Large Animal Practicegv. 5, n. 3, p. 491-497, Nov., 1983.
