Unfolding Case: A Cow-Calf Herd’s Abortion Cluster
12 minutes • Three decision points • Four minutes per stage
For each stage, allow one minute to read, one minute to vote, and two minutes to discuss consequences. Reveal the best option after voting.
Stage 1 of 3
Stage 1 — Recognizing the problem
Update: A commercial Angus-cross herd in the southeastern US has about 85 cows, three bulls, and fall calving. After weeks of heavy rain, cattle use a pond and creek with muddy margins; feral hogs frequent the creek. Six of 80 pregnant cows abort late over five weeks. Two premature calves are weak; one dies with red urine and rapid breathing. The owner’s son handled fetuses bare-handed and developed a flu-like illness.
What is the best next step?
Stage 2 of 3
Stage 2 — Interpreting the evidence
Update: The fetus is autolyzed with mild icterus; placentitis includes avascular tan cotyledons and edematous yellowish intercotyledonary areas. Fetal kidney PCR and FA are positive for pathogenic Leptospira; BVDV, Neospora, and BoHV-1 tests are negative. Dam MAT rises from Pomona 1:1600 to 1:6400 in two weeks; Hardjo is 1:100. Herdmates have Pomona titers of 1:400–1:3200. Urine PCR is positive in two of five aborting cows.
Which interpretation best fits these results?
Stage 3 of 3
Stage 3 — Choosing the herd response
Update: Cows last received reproductive vaccine two to three years ago; the product is unknown, and no leptospirosis booster has been given since. Aborting cows remain bright; one retained her placenta, and two heifers were briefly off feed. The working diagnosis is leptospiral abortion, presumptively Pomona. The owner needs a response addressing affected cattle, herd protection, environmental exposure, and human safety.
Which response best addresses the case?
Case outcome: The herd received the combined response in option D; Pomona remained the presumptive serovar.

Both activities came from the same source case with one prompt each. The AI was told to add no new findings, so the case stays accurate.
Unfolding case and flashcard prompts
Using the case below, write an unfolding case for a [length]-minute class session with [number] decision points.
For each stage: a short update (under 80 words), a decision question with 4 options, the best option, and a one-sentence consequence for each option that a class can discuss.
Keep facts consistent with the case; do not add new findings. Mark which decisions suit a live poll.
CASE: [paste the verified case]
---
From the verified case below, write [10] flashcards for spaced retrieval practice by [year] veterinary students.
Each card: a question that requires recall or application (not yes/no) on the front; a 1-2 sentence answer on the back.
Cover: [objectives]. No facts outside the case. Output as a two-column table (Front | Back) that I can paste into [Quizlet, Anki, Kahoot, or my LMS].
CASE: [paste]
'Do not add new findings' keeps the activity consistent with the case you verified.
Marking poll-friendly decisions makes the case ready for a live audience.
A two-column table pastes straight into Quizlet, Anki, Kahoot, or most learning management systems.
