Dr. Becker: What Is Botulism and How to Treat It
Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal form of poisoning that can result from eating spoiled raw meat, dead animals, or decaying vegetable matter infected with the Clostridium botulinum type C neurotoxin.
Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, spore-forming, motile bacterium with the ability to produce the neurotoxin botulinum.
Botulism causes weakness that can progress to paralysis of all four limbs. Other clinical signs include trouble chewing and swallowing, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
Treatment includes giving a type C anti-toxin and supportive care depending on the severity of symptoms.
To prevent botulism, pets should never have access to spoiled raw meat or animal carcasses.
