Canine polymyositis

  • DOES NOT include MMM above
  • Rare
  • Clinical signs:
    • Muscle pain
    • Fever
    • Weakness, particularly in hind limbs
  • Grossly:
    • Inflammation is accompanied by muscle necrosis and regeneration

    • Swollen and pale extraocular muscles
  • Histologically:
    • Sterile myositis
    • Multifocal necrosis of myofibres
    • Lymphocytic, histiocytic and plasmacytic infiltrate with few neutrophils


Bovine and ovine eosinophilic myositis

  • Unknown aetiology
  • Major cell involved is eosinphil
  • Usually noticed at slaughter - green muscle discoloration
  • May be caused by degenteration of Sarcocystis spp.
  • Grossly:
