- In terminal renal failure animal may present with painful ulcers in mouth, which become secondarily infected with Fusiformis.
- High concentrations of toxic materials in the blood results in degeneration of small arterioles.
- In the mouth, this damage to the blood supply can cause epithelial necrosis.
- Usually seen as erosions along the ventrolateral borders of the tongue and on the cheeks, especially opposite the teeth.
- In some cases there may be more extensive necrosis which may involve subepithelial tissue
- for example, the tip of the tongue may slough.
