Diagnostic Exercise 1

Case 12 (a)

These two pictures are from a pig. There are several observations to be made here.

• What are they?
• What would this pig look like clinically?
• What would the rest of him look like at necropsy?
• What is the specific diagnosis?
• Where would you hunt organisms?

This is a nice slide, a nice case, and a nice disease. Work it up well.

Another proliferative enteritis. The cecum and colon are full of blood. Is this an example of PHE, PI, or PE? The photograph on the right is another example, with mucosal necrosis as well.
