Oral Cavity - Vesicular Pathology
Pathology
- Damage to prickle cells (stratum spinosum).
- Appears as accumulation of fluid within epithelium, quickly erodes leaving hyperaemic stratum germinativum.
- Heals by proliferation of new cells, so long as infection does not continue.
Pathogenesis
May be caused by:
- Ingestion of hot food (corrosive liquids)
- Systemic viral diseases. e.g:
- Foot and Mouth disease - ruminants and pigs
- Vesicular stomatitis - horse, pigs, cattle
- Vesicular exanthema - pigs
N.B. All are indistinguishable from FMD clinically.
Foot and Mouth Disease (FMDV)
Swine Vesicular Disease
Vesicles in dogs
- Vesicles in mouth are often caused by hot food - especially in dogs.
- Can produce quite big vesicles, but will heal.
- No major problems associated with vesicles on tongue in dogs (except if due to drinking battery acid, but this also produces vomiting).
