I cannot provide a comparison of lameness symptoms among different species, as the search results offer information only on sheep. However, I can share details on lameness in sheep.
Lameness in sheep can result from foot rot, caused by infection between the toes, or from internal parasites.
What Causes Lameness in Sheep?
Foot rot in sheep is caused by a specific organism that is difficult to treat. It results in extreme lameness and even loss of the hoof. The pain and restricted movement lead to rapid weight loss.
How is Foot Rot Treated?
Dips are used to combat external parasites such as ticks, lice, and mites. Modern vermifuges are quite effective against internal parasites such as tapeworm and roundworms that infest the gastrointestinal tract.
