Biopsy Results
Biopsy with microscopic (1 tissue)
Sections of liver are submitted for examination.
* Micrscopic Description
The liver samples submitted for examination show marked
vacuolar
denenerative change of the Hepatocytes. This is a fairly
diffuse change
and is comprised of a mixture of microvesicular type of
degenerative
vacuolar change. As well as fatty change. Many hepatocytes
also contain
a yellowish-tan granular pigment consistent with
Lipofuscin and/or bile.
The portal and central lombular areas contain increased
numbers of
Leukocytes and these range from Lipoplasmacytic to
mixtures of
Lymphoid cells and neutrophils.
* Diagnosis
Vacuolar Hepatopathy with Bile Stasis
*Comments
the combined microvesicular type change and fatty change
is anomaly. This type of change can be seen with
Cushings Disease or even Diabetes. It may be
good to also evaluate the animals diet.

Giddeon has been eating Totally Ferret/ Zupreem/ 8in1(no
corn type)
It don't seem like he was deprived of good food. I sure wished
I knew what brought this on.
