Investigation the histopathological condition of the liver in stray dogs

Chronic hepatitis (CH) is the most common liver disease of dogs. Histopathology is necessary for distinguishing different stages of hepatitis. This study aimed to examine the liver histological status of stray dogs. Seventy stray mixed dogs that died from a road accident between ۲۰۱۷ till ۲۰۲۰ in Tehran, Iran were necropsy for liver status. Prevalence of CH in studied dogs was ۳۱.۴%, including ۱۲ random hepatitis, ۹ cholangiohepatitis, and one bridging hepatitis. CH may be more likely to occur in stray dogs because they are less likely to visit veterinary clinics than pet dogs.
