right |
|
White muscle disease: in which ventricle of calves are subendocardial plaques most severe? |
left |
|
BOVINE HEART: Observe the pale necrotic foci in the heart of this calf. Remember, in calves there is a tendency for lesions to occur most frequently in the ___ ventricle, whereas the ___ ventricle is chiefly involved in lambs. Give the morphological diagnosis. |
Left. Right. Severe locally extensive necrotizing myocarditis. |
|
DEER MUSCLE (MICROSCOPIC): Give the etiology and name of the condition. |
Diet deficient in Vitamin E and selenium. White muscle disease. |
|
EQUINE MUSCLE: Observe the pale yellowish thigh muscles. Name the condition and give a brief pathogenesis. |
White muscle disease. Vitamin E and selenium prevent the peroxidation of cell membranes. |

|
Equine Rhabdomyolysis: possible predisposition (2) |
Vitamin E and selenium deficiency |
|
