Clostridium diseases are spreading among livestock amid drought in East Texas. One veterinarian said that he's seeing cases among cattle, sheep and goats daily. A vaccine can protect livestock against the bacteria and avoid fatal illness. A shot of penicillin may also keep the animal alive if disease is caught early enough.
