Five cases of loose mandibular or maxillary cheek teeth in sheep are described. All the sheep showed loss of condition but excessive salivation was not a consistent feature. Two had high helminth egg counts, one a facial abscess and three loose rostral teeth. Blood biochemical results showed raised creatine phosphokinase (three cases), low glucose (three) and marginally low calcium levels (two). Diagnosis was based on digital palpation of the teeth during sedation. Treatment by extraction of loose teeth allowed a further litter of lambs from pregnant ewes and an extra tupping season from a ram.
本文描述了5例绵羊下颌或上颌颊齿松动的病例。所有绵羊均表现出身体状况下降，但流涎过多并非一致特征。其中2例蠕虫虫卵计数高，1例面部脓肿，3例吻部牙齿松动。血液生化结果显示，3例肌酸磷酸激酶升高，3例血糖降低，2例血钙水平略低。诊断基于镇静期间对牙齿进行指压触诊。拔除松动牙齿的治疗方法使怀孕母羊又产了一窝羔羊，公羊又多了一个配种季节。
