Thread: Crook deer

Agree can’t see what we are excited about in this photo, the spleen is small as per a shot animal where it contracts down to inject more blood in to the system.
The guy from Scotland talking about head lymph nodes might be alluding to the fact early Tb in deer is best detected in the retropharyngeal lymph nodes but subtle signs would be beyond most people. (If a vet post mortems a farm Tb reactor deer they will slice these nodes up finely and or send samples to the lab)
Johnes signs in a carcass might be thickened small intestines and big lymph nodes in the sheet of fat they hang in, watery scour in large intestine instead of pellets forming.
No idea what was happening in this case, not enough info.
