Three dead dogs were brought to the College of Veterinary
Medicine, Kyungpook National University for study.
Clinically, all the dogs showed emaciation, anorexia,
depression, hemorrhagic vomiting and diarrhea for 7∼10
days before death. All the clinical signs were first noted
for about one month after feeding the dogs with commercial
diets. At necropsy, all 3 dogs had severe renal damage
with the same green-yellowish colored nephroliths in the
renal pelvis. They also showed systemic hemorrhage and
calcification of several organs, which might have been
induced by uremia. Microscopically, necrosis, calcification
and calculi were detected in the renal tubules, and especially
in the proximal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of
the kidney. These findings were supportive of a mycotoxic
effect, and especially on their kidneys. However, the
precise cause of the toxic effect in these cases of canine
renal failure could not be determined.
