| Abstract: | A case of peripheral neuropathy associated with lymphosarcoma in a dog is described. A 6-year-old flat-coated Retriever male was presented with urinary incontinence and lameness of the right hind leg. Five days after hospitalization the dog developed a right-sided facial paralysis. The dog was destroyed 3 weeks after admittance. The post-mortem examination revealed lymphosarcoma in the stomach and a peripheral neuropathy mainly affecting the femoral and facial nerves. The possible connection between the lymphosarcoma and the peripheral neuropathy is discussed. |
