Sažetak
This paper describes in detail the clinical and patomorphological aspects of lymphangiectasia in a dog. The dog was presented at the Clinic for Internal Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Zagreb, after a period of chronic diarrhoea and progressive weight loss. Resultes of clinical examinations indicated a protein-losing enteropathy due to lymphangiectasia. Adequate teraphy was conducted, but with unsatisfactory results and the dog was euthanised at the owners request. Secondary lymphangiectasia could be due to mononuclear lymphangitis (unknown ethiology) which was confirmed pathoanatomically and pathohistologycally, but secondary dilatation of lacteals could be the result of inflammatory bowel disease (lymphocytic and plasmocytic infiltration).
