| Abstract: | Oedema associated with obstruction of the lymphatic pathways is termed lymphoedema. A number of cases of primary lymphoedema attributed to congenital lymphatic abnormalities have been reported in dogs. Cases associated with secondary or acquired lymphatic drainage failure are rare. This paper reports a dog with generalized peripheral oedema in which a presumptive diagnosis of secondary lymphoedema was made and discusses the causes, investigation and treatment of lymphoedema. |
