Case
5:
Signalment:
7 year old dairy cow
Clinical Signs:
The farmer has noticed that the cows face is no longer
symmetrical. On palpation you notice a large mass on the left mandible
that is variable very hard in places and soft in other areas. You make
a presumptive diagnosis of lumpy jaw. As this particular cow is a poor
milker and reaching the end of her current lactation the farmer decides
to cull the cow. Out of interest you ask the knackery to save a piece of
the lump in formalin which you then submit for histopathological examination.
