Clinical signs of botulism were observed in a group of eight cats, four of which died, after being fed pelican carrion. Clostridium botulinum type C was isolated from one cat. The microorganism and its toxin were found in the pelican. This is apparently the first report of natural botulism in cats.
一组八只猫在食用鹈鹕腐肉后出现了肉毒中毒的临床症状，其中四只死亡。从一只猫身上分离出了C型肉毒梭菌。在鹈鹕体内发现了这种微生物及其毒素。这显然是猫自然感染肉毒中毒的首例报告。
