Swine Vesicular Disease - Clinical Signs

Clinical Signs

Clinical signs are very similar to those of foot-and-mouth disease and other vesicular diseases. They are:

• Fever
• Vesicles in the mouth and on the snout and feet
• Lameness and an unsteady gait, shivering and jerking–type leg movements
• Ruptured vesicles can cause ulcers on limbs and feet, and foot pads may be loosened. Young animals are more severely affected. Recovery often occurs within a week. There is no mortality with SWINE VESICULAR DISEASE VIRUS.
