− | *'''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
