Abstract

The report describes an outbreak of Camel contagious ecthyma (CCE) in a camel herd and clinical management of severe facial swelling, skin and buccal mucosal lesions in eleven (11) animals during early stage of disease. These animals were treated with combination of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Flunixin was more effective as evident from rapid recession of facial swelling and early clinical recovery as compared to Meloxicam.
