Cows can no longer stand and present in sternal recumbency. The cat can be placed in either dorsal or ventral recumbency. This may be due to decreased feedings and recumbency. Lateral recumbency, coma, and convulsions may be observed before death. However, severe infections can result in severe diarrhea, anorexia, recumbency, dehydration, and weight loss. While deterioration of skeletal muscles results in stiffness, weakness, and recumbency. The peracute form is characterized by recumbency, tachypnea, dyspnea, myalgia, cardiac arrhythmias, and rapid death. Forced recumbency is not an option for horses, making healing more difficult. If sheep are not found dead, signs include abdominal pain and recumbency. Finally, in phase three, there is typically recumbency, continued acute respiratory distress and terminal septicaemia.
