is a relatively common cause of canine large bowel disease leading to chronic diarrhea. Faecal analysis is negative most of the times due to long prepatent period and eggs may be shed intermittently. This case study done at Madras Veterinary College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India from 2014 to 2018 describes the usefulness of endoscopy in diagnosing the colitis due to presence of worms. Three dogs presented with haematochezia and tenesmus were subjected to detailed clinical examination. As the faecal examination was negative and there was no improvement on initial therapy endoscopy was performed. Numerous whip-worms were found attached to the colon mucosa on endoscopic examination. Multiple bleeding ulcerated sites were observed throughout the colon. The dog was treated with oral febental, praziquantal and pyrantal combination tablets (Drontal Plus). Clinical improvement was observed within a week.
是导致犬类大肠疾病并引发慢性腹泻的相对常见原因。由于潜伏期长，粪便分析大多时候呈阴性，且虫卵可能会间歇性排出。这项于2014年至2018年在印度泰米尔纳德邦金奈的马德拉斯兽医学院开展的案例研究描述了内窥镜检查在诊断由蠕虫引起的结肠炎方面的作用。三只出现便血和里急后重的犬接受了详细的临床检查。由于粪便检查呈阴性且初始治疗未见改善，遂进行了内窥镜检查。内窥镜检查发现结肠黏膜上附着有大量鞭虫。整个结肠观察到多个出血性溃疡部位。这只犬接受了口服非班太尔、吡喹酮和噻嘧啶组合片剂（拜宠清）治疗。一周内观察到临床症状有所改善。
