The goat has increased difficulty standing and eventually is unable to stand. [3] The disease is spread to goat kids when they drink colostrum or milk from infected goats. [4] Separating goat kids from infected goats, and feeding the kids with cow's milk, or pasteurized goat milk, will prevent infection. [1]
This abnormality is a condition in which the brain's cerebral hemispheres are like swiss cheese, or absent, and replaced by sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Ewes infected with bluetongue virus while pregnant can have lambs with this defect, as well as giving birth to lambs who are small, weak, deformed or blind.
