Degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis, commonly called DSLD, also known as equine systemic proteoglycan accumulation (ESPA), is a systemic disease of the connective tissue of the horse and other equines. It is a disorder akin to Ehlers–Danlos syndrome being researched in multiple horse breeds.
Veterinary pathologists are veterinarians who specialize in the diagnosis of diseases through the examination of animal tissue and body fluids. [1] Like medical pathology, veterinary pathology is divided into two branches, anatomical pathology and clinical pathology. Other than the diagnosis of disease in food-producing animals, companion ...
All forms of portosystemic shunts produce various neurological, gastrointestinal, and urinary symptoms. [3]Symptoms of congenital PSS usually appear by six months of age [4] and include failure to gain weight, vomiting, and signs of hepatic encephalopathy (a condition where toxins normally removed by the liver accumulate in the blood and impair the function of brain cells) such as seizures ...
In addition, a clinical picture reminiscent of a malignant disease of the hematopoietic system can occur.

[22] Aspergillosis* is a fungal disease that in dogs is caused primarily by Aspergillus fumigatus. Infection is usually in the nasal cavity.
Veterinary Pathology publishes reports of basic and applied research involving wildlife, marine and zoo animals and poultry. The journal focuses on details of the diagnostic investigations of diseases of animals, reports of experimental studies on mechanisms of specific processes and also provides insights into animal models of human disease.
The Veterinary Journal is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering veterinary science and related topics. The journal was established in 1875 as The Veterinary Journal and Annals of Comparative Pathology and renamed The Veterinary Journal in 1900, then renamed British Veterinary Journal in 1949 before finally obtaining its current title in 1997.
Amyloidosis is confirmed by histological identification of amyloid deposits. At this point, amyloid typing with immunochemical staining is necessary, as the differential diagnosis includes AA amyloidosis, AL amyloidosis, hereditary amyloidosis, dialysis-related amyloidosis and age-related systemic amyloidosis.
