| |
| − | *May produce bad smell.
| |
| − | *Resolves normally if not secondarily infected.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Pathogenesis===
| |
| − | *May be caused by:

| |
| − | *Sometimes called "rodent ulcer "
| |
| − | *Not neoplastic - it is an inflammatory disease but is '''progressive and destructive'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *May see small plaque or becomes very '''infiltrative'''.
| |
| − | *In worst cases may erode away whole nose.
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | *Quite a common '''zoonotic''' disease
| |
| − | Papular proliferative pathology
| |
| − | =====Clinical=====
| |
| − | *In sheep produces a proliferative nodule/papular mass on [[Lips - Anatomy & Physiology|lips]]
| |
| − | *In flocks in which it is endemic it is seen in lamb
| |
| − | *If flock is non-immune seen in ewes too but much worse in lambs (may spread to inside of mouth)
| |
| − | *Can spread to udder of ewe
| |
| − | | |
| − | =====Pathology=====
| |
| − | *Poxvirus infections produce local infection of [[prickle cells]] in epithelium with proliferation of cells and formation of papule followed by ulceration / necrosis and covered by necrotic epithelium
| |
| − | *Eventually scabs form and crust drops off
| |
| − | *Scabs - very infectious ( N.B.if touch -> catch it)

| |
| − | *Parapox virus
| |
| − | *Very similar disease to orf but seen in cattle and generally milder condition.
| |
| − | *'''Must be differentiated from [[#Foot and Mouth disease|Foot and Mouth Disease]] and [[#Bovine Viral Diarrhoea / Mucosal disease|Mucosal Disease.]]'''
| |
| − | *Sporadic, in cattle, less than 1 year old.
| |
| − | *Develop papules on the muzzle, external nares and in the [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]]; the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] and [[Stomach and Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|forestomachs]] may also be affected.
| |
| − | *Usually heals spontaneously.
| |
| − | =====Pathogenesis=====
| |
| − | *The early lesions are round areas of intense congestion up to 1.5 cm in diameter.
| |
| − | *The centre becomes necrotic and slightly depressed.
| |
| − | *Slow peripheral extension of this lesion gives a classical ring zone formation with concentric rings of
| |
| − | **yellow (necrosis),
| |
| − | **grey (epithelial hyperplasia)
| |
| − | **red (congestion).
| |
| − | =====Histology=====
| |
| − | *There are focal areas of hydropic degeneration in the stratum spinosum
| |
| − | *Large eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion
| |
| − | *Epidermis is markedly thickened.
| |
| − | *The superficial layers of the epithelium become necrotic and slough.
| |
| − | *''Vesicle formation is not a feature of this disease.''

| |
| − | *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 [[Oral Cavity - Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] and on the [[Cheeks - Anatomy & Physiology|cheeks]], especially opposite the [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]].
| |
| − | *In some cases there may be more extensive necrosis which may involve subepithelial tissue
| |
| − | **for example, the tip of the [[Oral Cavity - Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] may slough.
| |
| − | *Most commonly seen in dog sometimes in cat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==[[:Category:Oral Cavity - Nutritional Pathology]]==
| |
| − | ===[[Nicotinic Acid Deficiency]]===

| − | ==[[:Category:Oral Cavity - Traumatic Pathology]]==
| |
| − | ===Ulcers Following Trauma===
| |
| − | *Any animal that is exposed to coarse feed or sharp things in food can suffer from ulcers in mouth.
| |
| − | *They often become secondarily infected with production of metastatic infection that may result in large abscess on point of jaw.
| |
| − | **i.e. trauma on [[Oral Cavity - Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] may lead to secondary infection that may lead to abscess in drainage lymph node.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Deep ulcers may occur as a result of trauma in any species.
| |
| − | *These readily become secondarily infected by [[Fusiformis]].
| |
| − | *Produces a fibrin-covered ulcer.
| |
| − | *Responds to antibiotics, but may leave a defect or scar in mucosa.
