*'''Azoturia''' (Monday morning disease)
**Acute
**Due to exercise following a prolonged period of rest
**Clincal signs:
***Unable to move
***Sweating
***Tremors
***Swollen and hard lumbar, gluteal and femoral muscles
**Myoglobin leaks from muscle cells -> leaks into urine -> urine is dark red/brown (myoglobinuria) -> damages renal tubules
**Grossly:
***Salmon pink muscles -> dark, moist, swollen +/- pale streaks
**Histologically:
***Segmental myofibre [[Muscles Degenerative - Pathology#Necrosis|necrosis]]
****Multifocal and monophasic, but may be multiphasic if repeated bouts
***Both, type IIA and IIB fibres affected; type IIB preferentially affected in acute disease
***Minor inflammatory reaction and calcification

*'''Tying-up'''
**Similar to azoturia but much milder
**Grossly - normal muscle
**Histologically - same as azoturia
