A post-mortem examination revealed excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The liver was pale and swollen. The lungs were diffusely congested with frothy fluid in the airways. Slide 16 (07-377) History and Gross Pathology Four pups out of a litter of nine became suddenly ill, showing facial and submandibular swelling and increased respiratory effort. Three of the affected pups died. One developed comeal oedema (blue eye) but recovered. The other five pups in the litter Hist remained unaffected. A post-mortem Live examination of one of the dead pups revealed deg abnormalities. Thel a mottled, pale liver, but no other vac? size hepi evid Histopathology Liver. Look at hepatocytes around: - Central vein: denotes hypoxic event > NOT OK - Portal triad: denotes something toxic - Hepatocytes have cyto. 450 organisms which often make something toxic.
