PS and GIT
photosensitization caused by
caused by photodynamic/pthototoxic agent in perph circulation
primary photosensitization
animal ingests photodynamic agent--> (may be biotransformed)-->photophobia + corneal opacity

any herbivore can be affected
no liver injury
more likely to be photophobic than 2'
secondary photosensitization
aka hepatogenous PS
animal eats hepatotoxin + chlorophyll source--> rumen flora turns chlorophyll to phylloerythrin--> liver is to damaged so phylloerythrin goes into syst circulation

rarely equine (cecum) usually rum affected
more lethal than primary
congenital photosensitization
cattle, swine, southdown sheep

inherited disorder of porphyrin metabolism (heme synthesis)

porphyrin = photodynamic agent
MOA of photosensitizing agents
DNA interaction,
cell membrane alterations,
protein interactions/enzyme inactivation
PS clinical signs: early
Erythema
Puritus
Shaking head
Pain around coronary bands (hoofs and horns)
PS clinical signs: progressive
Swelling/edema of ears and other exposed skin
Cracking skin w/ exuding serum
Corneal opacity = phototoxic agent in eye, bring in H2O
PS treatment
Eliminate direct UV exposure
Remove green plant material from diet
Supportive care
