If you take in too much salt, but at the same time drink a lot of water, it may not be poisoned. On the contrary, if you consume too much salt and lack of drinking water, the chance of poisoning will increase. Feeding mutton sheep with 2% salt feed and restricting the drinking water of mutton sheep caused poisoning after a few days; but feeding feed containing 13% salt without restricting drinking water resulted in no poisoning.

Necropsy of meninges and brain congestion and bleeding, gastrointestinal mucosa flushing, bleeding or edema.
In the early stage of treatment and diagnosis, 500 ml of normal saline containing 5% glucose can be injected intravenously; oral administration of 150 to 200 ml of castor oil is difficult to treat.
In the daily diet of mutton sheep, attention must be paid to the application of salt. Appropriate amount and scientific feeding are necessary to avoid salt poisoning.
