Physical Examination GI: bladder is largely distended and
mildly thickened bowel loops are appreciated
Otherwise, unremarkable

Diagnostics Planned to begin with basic bloodwork However, unable to draw blood from
patient… so began with imaging

Abdominal Ultrasound Findings very similar to feline
dysautonomia

Feline Dysautonomia Feline Dysautonomia
Paper from 2010 describing common imaging findings in patient’s with this disease
Disease is autonomic ganglia degeneration Leads to failure of autonomic nervous system
Often accompanied with concurrent sypathetic nervous system dysfunctions (dilated pupils, elevated 3rd eyelids, …)
Possible sex (male) predisposition and geographic (Midwest) distribution?

Lola Case Progress Hospitalized overnight
Following day was laterally recumbent and non-responsive

Lola Case Progress Venous Blood Gas revealed extreme
acidemia pH of 6.8
Patient eventually diagnosed with d-lactic acidosis secondary to severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency

D-lactic acidosis 2’ to Severe EPI
D-lactate is produced by from bacterial flora in intestine
Reports of d-lactic acidosis in people seen with short-bowel syndrome secondary to GI surgery
Can be accompanied by GI dysmotility
Single case report (2005) in cat with similar ultrasonographic findings
