Pneumatosis Coli in a Dog

From the School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences (Russell, Irwin), Murdoch University Veterinary Hospital, Murdoch University, South Street, Murdoch, Western Australia, 6150 Australia and the Department of Veterinary Clinic and Hospital (Tyrrell, Beck), University of Melbourne, 250 Princess Highway, Werribee, Victoria 3030 Australia.

A 17-year-old, castrated male Maltese was presented with chronic polyphagia and a 2-week history of tenesmus, diarrhea, hematochezia, weight loss, and ribbon-like feces. Pneumatosis coli was diagnosed by abdominal radiography. Concurrent hyperadrenocorticism was suspected. The clinical signs of colorectal disease resolved within 2 days of initiating a lowresidue diet and oral metronidazole. Pneumatosis coli should be considered as a differential diagnosis for colorectal disease in dogs.
