On clinical examination revealed a poor nutritional status, pallid mucous membranes, moderated dehydration (8 to 10%), ulcers on the ventral portion of the tongue, multifocal areas of hypotrichosis covered with scabs throughout the entire body and permanent sternolateral decubitus. The blood exam revealed aregenerative anemia and leukocytosis (neutrophilia) with deviation to the left. The necropsy revealed enlarged, pallid kidneys with a finely irregular natural surface.
