Leporine Dysautonomia

Share This

This disease occurs in wild hares, and fatal cases have been reported in the UK. Gross lesions are similar to those of equine dysautonomia, including gastric distention, colonic impaction, and weight loss; histopathologic changes in the central and peripheral nervous systems are almost identical to those found in cats, dogs, rabbits, and horses.
