Scrapie positive Montedale ewe that lost body condition and became very ataxic in the rear legs. The day of necropsy, she was very "jittery" and nearly started to seizure each time that she was touched. Held head down, possibly related to her state of unsteadiness/incoordination. The side view shows her short-based stance/hunched appearance. The dorsal spinous processes are very prominent due to her decreased body condition.
