Abstract

Effective red blood cell function is vital to maintaining homeostasis. A host of quantitative and qualitative RBC defects compromise this function to varying degrees and can therefore threaten survival. Knowledge of these disease states and expertise in the diagnosis and management of them is essential to avoid physiologic decompensation and restore well-being.

Anaemia and low viability in piglets infected with Eperythrozoon suis.

Eperythrozoon suis infection was identified in a pig herd during an investigation into anaemia and low viability in newborn piglets and severe regenerative macrocytic anaemia in older piglets. The organisms were identified in the erythrocytes of piglets a few days old. Extensive investigations failed to detect other causes of the anaemia and low viability. There was no response to parenteral iron administration alone but the piglets' viability and anaemia responded to the administration of tetracyclines. This is the first report of E suis infection in Northern Ireland.

Suspected nutritional deficiency causing anaemia in llamas (Lama glama).

A case of poor condition and recumbency in a 14-month-old female llama and a case of poor condition and ataxia in a 23-month-old male llama are described. Both animals were anaemic and had low plasma copper levels. An increased intake of feed with a higher copper level and treatment with copper injections and an oral mineral solution resulted in a successful recovery. Two other young llamas also had low plasma copper levels. The problem was probably due to a nutritional, particularly copper, deficiency and the animals recovered as their copper levels increased.
