Updated! - Test Your Diagnostic Skills - Warning, Contains Graphic Necropsy Photos

[micstrachan]

I’ve never seen this thread before! Following. Thanks to everyone involved from braving a dirt time necropsy and sharing photos to sharing thoughts on what you see.

Sue, Is that the spleen?

Cragg, you have done a good job. I also agree with @coach723 those little yellow things look like lash material.
It will be interesting to see the rest.

If that is the spleen, it’s a clue. Enlarged and mottled, not normal.

Here are the follow up photo's. I think that was the spleen you were referring to Sue?? I cut it open in one of the last pictures. I'll need to see them uploaded to know which one exactly but I'm sure it's obvious.
Unfortunately I will have another Necropsy. Completely different background and I think it was a reproductive disorder but not certain.
With this one as you can all see, there were lots more lash material bits when I cut into the stomach area properly. And there was some fluid, mainly clear. Is it normal for the small intestines to be completely attached? In anything I've seen they have them loose, would they just have detached them??
Anyway,
Poor girl.

Lots of fluid in the abdomen, ovary looks pretty normal, gut looks hard and ropy, maybe swollen? Looks like peritonitis to me. Can’t tell what this is, but whatever it is looks pretty wrong.

Thank you Sue. Of course I had no idea what it was either but it looked out of placw, attached visa fleshy thread but loosely flopping around.

Poor girl.

Did you happen to open up any of the intestines?

Is this part of the oviduct? It's very inflamed.

Yes, I cut into it because it was larger than the rest.
