Abstract
Summary: A case of megacolon secondary to autonomic ganglioneuritis in a dog is described. Despite medical management with enemas, cisapride, and lactulose, the dog developed a faecal obstruction, requiring surgical intervention. Histopathology of the colon showed lymphocytic plasmacytic ganglioneuritis. No underlying cause for this inflammation was seen. Continued medical management and treatment for hypothyroidism were initially successful, but the dog again became obstipated and was euthanased.
