Four dogs were presented at the Belgrade Clinic for Small Animals with clinical signs of chronic diarrhea, lethargy, anorexia, vomiting and weight loss. Abnormal physical examination findings included dehydration, signs of pain on abdominal palpation, and ascites. The most important clinicopathological findings were lymphopenia and hypoproteinemia with hypoalbuminemia. Abdominal ultrasound revealed intestinal abnormalities in all dogs. To establish an undoubted diagnosis of intestinal lymphangiectasia, endoscopy and histopathology were conducted.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Veterinarski Glasnik}, author={Davitkov, Darko and Vasiljevic, Maja and Davitkov, Dajana and Ilic Bozovic, Anja and Djordjevic, Milena and Krstic, Vanja}, year={2017}, month={May}, pages={52–57} }
