One form of pregnancy toxaemia affects fat ewes generally when they are under stress or suffering from a sudden reduction in feed intake.
DPI Hamilton district veterinary officer David Champness said this may be due to bad weather or other diseases debilitating the ewe, such as worms or hypocalcaemia or by yarding ewes in late pregnancy.

In beef cattle, pregnancy toxaemia, also known as fat cow syndrome, occurs most commonly in late pregnancy when the nutrient intake is decreased in cows which were previously well fed and in good body condition.
Two-year-old heifers and aged cows have died with pregnancy toxaemia so cattle of all ages are at risk.
Pregnancy toxaemia can be prevented by ensuring that beef cows are not starved or undernourished in the eight weeks before calving.

 The Tao of Detox
Toxaemia occurs, and the conditions for disease are thereby created, when toxins are retained and stored in the body due to toxic overload or impairment of the body's own natural detox and elimination functions.
In the case of internal pollution of the human body, and the state of chronic toxaemia that it causes, that means periodic purification of the bloodstream and complete detoxification of the bodily tissues.
Dehydration produces a state of chronic toxaemia and is one of the primary causes of daytime fatigue, sluggish metabolism, depression and inability to concentrate.

 Bibliography
This is probably not the whole story however, because giving glucose to the ewe reduces her survival rate and giving glucocorticoids (that enhance gluconeogenesis in the liver) also worsens the prognosis for the ewe.
Understanding of the involvement of glucocorticoids in pregnancy toxaemia is complicated because sheep pregnant with twins become toxaemic most often in adverse weather conditions where they may be subjected to chilling as well as food deprivation.
In summary, pregnancy toxaemia is a complex metabolic derangement resulting from acute stress and high glucose demand while acetonaemia is more nearly a straight forward case of failure to meet abnormally high glucose demands.

 'GRASS TETANY' Chapter 16
Ketosis in ruminants is generally described as: acetonaemia in the cow, occurring particularly during lactation and 1-6 weeks after calving; pregnancy toxaemia in the ewe and goat (it may also occur, but more rarely, in the cow), sometimes referred to as "twin lamb disease" because of its greater frequency in ewes carrying twins.
The two most common types of entero-toxaemia are designated by D and C. The disease most frequently observed is of type D and is generally accompanied by degeneration of the kidney known as "pulpy kidney".
It is essential to distinguish clearly between enterotoxaemia and pregnancy toxaemia in ewes, the latter, as was stated above, being primarily caused by under-nourishment.
