    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Feline Medicine

    Background:

    • Yersinia pseudotuberculosis is a bacterial pathogen that can cause disease in various animals.
    • Feline infections with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis are uncommon, with limited case reports available.
    • Understanding the clinical presentation and pathological findings is crucial for diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A domestic cat presented with clinical signs including inappetence, lethargy, rapid emaciation, jaundice, and an enlarged left kidney.
    • Post-mortem examination revealed chronic pseudotubercular lesions in the kidneys and lungs.

    Findings:

    • Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Type IIB was successfully isolated from both the kidney and lung tissues.
    • The pathological findings and bacterial isolation confirm Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection as the cause of the observed clinical signs and lesions.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for Yersinia pseudotuberculosis to cause severe disease in cats, contributing to the differential diagnosis for similar presentations.
    • Further research into feline Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infections may elucidate transmission routes and inform preventative strategies in veterinary medicine.
