Suppurative colitis in a cat.

M S Leib, D P Sponenberg, J R Wilcke

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |April 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sulfasalazine treatment improved chronic diarrhea in a cat with suppurative colitis. While clinical signs resolved, histologic abnormalities and a later diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis led to euthanasia.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Gastroenterology
    • Feline Health

    Background:

    • Chronic large bowel diarrhea is a common clinical sign in cats.
    • Suppurative colitis can be a cause of chronic diarrhea in felines.
    • Sulfasalazine is a medication used to treat inflammatory conditions.

    Observation:

    • A young cat presented with chronic large bowel diarrhea.
    • Diagnostic evaluation revealed suppurative colitis.
    • The cat was treated with sulfasalazine.

    Findings:

    • Sulfasalazine administration led to rapid clinical improvement of diarrhea.
    • Histologic examination showed persistent abnormalities despite clinical resolution.
    • The cat was later euthanatized due to effusive feline infectious peritonitis.
    • Post-mortem examination confirmed resolution of colonic histologic abnormalities.

    Implications:

    • Sulfasalazine can be an effective treatment for suppurative colitis in cats.
    • Clinical improvement does not always correlate with complete histologic resolution.
    • Feline infectious peritonitis is a serious, often fatal, disease in cats.
    • Further research is needed to understand the long-term efficacy and histologic correlation of sulfasalazine in feline colitis.
