Six of a group of 100 feeder lambs that had been deprived of sodium chloride, then more recently deprived of water, developed water deprivation-sodium chloride intoxication soon after water and a mineral supplement containing sodium chloride were reintroduced. The clinical signs included somnolence, intense thirst, and generalized muscle fasciculations. Serum chemical analyses revealed profound hypernatremia and hyperchloremia. Two mildly affected lambs recovered with partial water restriction and 2 severely affected lambs died despite medication to reduce cerebral edema. Postmortem examination of the 2 treated lambs and the 2 lambs found dead revealed microscopic evidence of cerebral edema and cerebrocorticonecrosis.
一组100只育肥羔羊中，有6只此前被剥夺了氯化钠，最近又被剥夺了水，在重新提供水和含氯化钠的矿物质补充剂后不久，就出现了缺水 - 氯化钠中毒。临床症状包括嗜睡、极度口渴和全身性肌肉抽搐。血清化学分析显示严重的高钠血症和高氯血症。两只轻度受影响的羔羊通过部分限制饮水而康复，另外两只严重受影响的羔羊尽管使用了减轻脑水肿的药物仍死亡。对2只接受治疗的羔羊和2只死亡羔羊进行的尸检显示，有脑水肿和脑皮质坏死的微观证据。
