Histiocytic ulcerative colitis is a severe, chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine, or colon. It occurs when specific bacteria invade the lining of the intestinal wall, triggering an abnormal and intense immune response. This leads to deep inflammation and painful ulcers in the colon.
Symptoms typically appear in young dogs under two years of age. Owners will usually notice frequent, painful straining to defecate, weight loss, and diarrhea that often contains blood or mucus.
The condition is highly treatable using targeted antibiotics and specialized diets, though it requires a precise diagnosis via colonoscopy and biopsy with FISH analysis. Total costs for diagnosis and treatment typically range from 1,500 to 6,000 EUR.
