    Author: Sweeney RW, Sweeney CR, Saik J, Lichtensteiger CA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1986 May 15; 188(10):1192-4. PubMed ID: 3721973.
    Abstract:
    Chronic granulomatous bowel disease was diagnosed in 3 sibling Standardbred horses. Clinical signs included weight loss, loose feces, and decreased appetite in the terminal stage of the disease. Abnormal laboratory findings included hypoproteinemia and low xylose absorption. Necropsy revealed granulomatous inflammation of the intestines, mesenteric lymph nodes, and liver. Eosinophilic infiltration of the granulomatous lesions was a prominent finding in one horse. A causative agent was not detected by special histochemical staining or bacteriologic culturing.
