Interpretation of necropsy report:
The main focus of this report was the spinal cord in regard to
degenerative myelopathy or lumbosacral stenosis. It appears to have
been somewhat limited of an examination other regards. There is no
history provided, but some of the gross findings would support the fact
that there was a neurological disease present causing deficit of the
behind limbs and possibly bladder function. There was not enough
evidence to support either degenerative myelopathy or lumbosacral
stenosis as a diagnosis. There is no histopathological evidence of
inflammatory bowel disease, so the gross findings of segmental
gastroenteritis, typhlitis and colitis may be related to medications
used to treat the neuropathy, or may be completely incidental. Again
without a history it is difficult to know. There were age-related
changes in the heart, spleen and spinal cord. Nothing else of
significance was noted.
