This document discusses the differential diagnosis of diarrhea in small and large intestines. It defines diarrhea and outlines key clinical signs that can indicate the location and underlying cause. For small intestine diarrhea, potential causes include dietary issues, infections, inflammatory/immune diseases, and idiopathic conditions. Large intestine diarrhea may result from similar causes like diet, infections, inflammation, and cancer, as well as obstructions, drugs/toxins, and stress. The document provides extensive lists of specific disorders, pathogens, medications, and toxins that commonly contribute to diarrhea in each intestinal region.
Prevalence of canine leptospirosis has increased in recent years.
As many as 8.2% of dogs are shedding leptospires, some asymptomatically.49
Weather changes, population growth, and habitat encroachment have all increased human and canine exposure to pathogens and their carriers.
Transmission of leptospirosis can occur through direct contact or indirectly through environmental exposure.
Leptospires enter the body through mucous membranes in the mouth, eyes, or nose, or through abraded or water-softened skin.
Leptospires multiply in a host animal's bloodstream.
Leptospires move from the bloodstream to the kidneys and other tissues to continue reproducing.
Leptospires pass from the kidneys into the urine; then are shed back into the environment.
Other dogs, wild animals, or people can become infected through direct or indirect contact.
clinical signs
Fever
Lethargy
Weight loss
Anorexia
Depression
Acute renal failure
Jaundice
Abdominal discomfort
Vomiting and diarrhea
Blood in urine is uncommon, but may occur
Respiratory distress
Dogs at risk
Dogs at risk for developing leptospirosis include those with
Access to ponds, lakes, streams, or standing water
Exposure to urine from other infected animals, including:
Other dogs in shelters or other pet care facilities
Wildlife (e.g. rodents, racoons, opossum, deer), either through direct contact with urine or through contaminated water
Morbidity threats
As leptospirosis progresses, it can result in
Leptospiremia
Leptospires can multiply in the bloodstream and spread to many tissues and organs
Vascular damage/thrombocytopenia
Can lead to kidney failure and interfere with liver function
Contributes to coagulatory abnormalities and hemorrhages
Severe kidney and liver damage
Acute renal failure occurs in dogs with severe clinical signs
Acute hepatic dysfunction or chronic hepatitis have been caused by specific serovars
Babesiosis is the diseased state caused by the protozoal (single celled) parasites of the genus Babesia. Infection in a dog may occur by tick transmission, direct transmission via blood transfer from dog bites, blood transfusions, or transplacental transmission.
Contagious ecthyma results from infection by the orf virus, a member of the genus Parapoxvirus in the family Poxviridae. The orf virus remains viable on the wool and hides for approximately one month after the lesions have healed. It is very resistant to inactivation in the environment and has been recovered from dried crusts after 12 years.

Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae

2. Diarrhea
• Diarrhea is define simply as passage of feces that
contain an excess amount of water. This results in an
abnormal increase in stool liquidity and weight. In
some patients there may simply be an increase in
frequency of defecation.
• Diarrhea has also been described in broad, simple
terms as “the too rapid evacuation of too loose
stools.”
• Definitions notwithstanding, however, it is most
important that the clinician carefully determine
exactly what the owner means when the term
diarrhea is used.

4. Clinical Signs
Small intestine
Large intestine
Mucous
Rarely present
Frequently present
Volume
Increased
Normal to decreased
Feces
Quality of stool
Shape
Steatorrhea
Color
Melena
Hematochezia
Varies from nearly formed to quiet watery.
Loose to nearly formed. Mucus may be absent or
Often appears soft formed (“cowpile”). Undigested be present in small amounts, or constitute nearly
food or fat droplets or globules may be
the entire volume of material expelled. No
present. Malodorous
undigested food.
Vary, depends on amount of water present in
feces
Normal, reduced in diameter (narrowed)
Present with maldigestive/malabsorptive
disorders
Absent
Considerable variation—tan to dark brown, black
(not always indicative of melena), grayish brown.
May be altered by certain medications
Variable—usually brown, may be nearly clear
(increasedmucus) or laced with bright-red blood
Maybe present -- black, tarry stool
Absent
Absent, except in HGE syndrome
Maybe present
triakoso 2014
5. Clinical Signs
Small intestine
Large intestine
Frequency
Usually increased to 2-4 times a day but may
remain normal in some patients
Almost always increased. May be as frequent
as 3-10 times per day (average 3-5). The
combination of increased frequency of
defecation and passage of decreased
amounts of stool strongly suggests large
intestinal involvement
Dyschezia
Absent
Frequent in dogs, less common in cat
Tenesmus
Absent
Frequent in dogs, less common in cat
May be present in cases of acute severe
enteritis, with rapid transit of large volumes of
fluid through the gastrointestinal tract
Frequent. Common reason for owner being
awakened during the night to allow a dog
outdoors to defecate. Often
Defecation
Urgency
triakoso 2014
6. Clinical Signs
Small intestine
Large intestine
Vomit
Common in patients with inflammatory
bowel disorders and acute infectious disorders
May occur in 30%-35% of patients with
acute colitis. Sometimes occurs before onset
of abnormal stools
Appetite
Usually normal or decreased. May be cyclic,
often decreasing in conjunction with flare-ups
symptoms. May be ravenous in some dogs with
inflammatory bowel disease
(especially shar-peis).Appetite may be
increased in cats with inflammatory
bowel disease or lymphoma (transiently
in the latter).
Usually remains normal. May be decreased if
disease is severe (neoplasia, of
histoplasmosis).
Usually occurs as disease becomes more
chronic. Occurs with both malabsorptive and
maldigestive disease processes.
Unusual. May occur in conjunction with
severe colitis, diffuse neoplasia, or
histoplasmosis. If both small and large bowel
signs are present, any weight loss that has
occurred is more likely due to the small
intestinal disease component
Associated signs
