Angora goats may develop a characteristic ventral oedema of the subcutaneous tissue which is not unlike the 'wet-carcass syndrome' of sheep. The plasma of oedematous goats shows a lower total protein concentration, a lower colloid osmotic pressure and a lower albumin: globulin ratio than that of normal goats. Similarly, interstitial fluid of oedematous goats has a lower protein concentration, osmolality and colloid osmotic pressure than the fluid from normal but a similar albumin:globulin ratio. These results suggest that, unlike the 'wet-carcass syndrome' of sheep, the most likely explanation for the oedema is hypoproteinaemia which leads to filtration of fluid and an increased capillary permeability.
安哥拉山羊可能会出现一种皮下组织特有的腹侧水肿，这与绵羊的“湿胴体综合征”并无不同。水肿山羊的血浆总蛋白浓度较低，胶体渗透压较低，白蛋白与球蛋白的比例也低于正常山羊。同样，水肿山羊的组织间液蛋白浓度、渗透压和胶体渗透压均低于正常山羊，但白蛋白与球蛋白的比例相似。这些结果表明，与绵羊的“湿胴体综合征”不同，水肿最可能的原因是低蛋白血症，这会导致液体滤过和毛细血管通透性增加。
