ORIGINAL_ARTICLE This paper evaluates possible relations between the clinical activity and the histopathological findings of the entire intestine in dogs with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To perform this study, hospital records of 64 dogs of different sex and breed diagnosed with IBD were evaluated. The results of this study did not show a statistically significant correlation between clinical activity and the histopathological assessment of dogs with IBD. Certain connections were found between diarrhea and lacteal dilation in duodenum, and hematochezia and villous epithelial injury in colon but no other associations were found between the rest of the lesions and symptoms. https://macvetrev.mk/Files/Article/2020/10.2478/macvetrev-2019-0027/macvetrev-2019-0027.pdf 2020-03-15T09:00:00 13 22 10.2478/macvetrev-2019-0027 dog IBD lesion clinical signs David Farray false 1 Department of Morphology, Veterinary Faculty, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain AUTHOR Francisco Rodriguez false 2 Department of Morphology, Veterinary Faculty, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain AUTHOR Yaiza Muñoz Aznar false 3 Department of Morphology, Veterinary Faculty, University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain AUTHOR Antonio G.
