Sažetak
Pulmonary hemorrhage in dogs can be caused by different etiological factors such as coagulation disorders which include anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity, thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. It can also be a result of sepsis, trauma and vasculitis which are most common causes in dogs. Gross appearance varies from multifocal petechiae to extensive intraalveolar distribution. Microscopic findings include red blood cells in the alveolar spaces due to their extravasation from the blood vessels and the presence of intraalveolar macrophages containing hemosiderin. Archived canine necropsy reports and histopathological specimens collected during 3 year period from Department of Veterinary Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Zagreb were examined for pulmonary hemorrhage to determine most common causes for this lesion as well as the primary cause of death in these dogs. Pulmonary hemorrhage was found in 111 dogs. It was most commonly caused by trauma (17.12%, 19/111), toxicity (13.51%, 15/111), sepsis (9.91%, 11/111), heart failure (9.01%, 10/111), infectious (7.21%, 8/111) and parasitic (5.41%, 6/111) diseases. Severe pulmonary hemorrhage directly associated with the cause of death was found as a consequence of trauma, anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity and Leptospira spp. infection. The most commonly affected were Mixed –breed dogs (31.53%, 35/11) and breeds from Fédération Cynologique Internationale II (FCI II) group (Pinscher and Schnauzer - Molossoid and Swiss Mountain and Cattle dogs) (21.62%, 24/111). Dogs between 3 and 15 years of age were more commonly affected (52.25%, 58/111). Our results correspond with present literature data regarding the common causes of pulmonary hemorrhage in dogs. Although hemorrhage can accompany various pathological disorders, it is important to consider leptospirosis as a differential diagnosis in unclear cases of pulmonary hemorrhage due to its zoonotic potential.
