A three-year-old Siberian husky was brought for necropsy with a history of respiratory distress and erythematous patches on the ventral abdomen. Postmortem examination revealed icteric mucous membranes, diffuse erythematous patches in the ventral abdomen and ticks all over the body. The intermediate and diaphragmatic lobe of the lungs revealed haemorrhages. Liver was mottled and tan yellow brown. Gall bladder had a solitary calculus. Spleen was mildly swollen, dark brown and congested. Kidneys had a pitted and granular cortical surface with hemorrhages in the pelvis. Severe congestion of the cerebral vessels was observed. The right inner thigh muscles revealed severe paint brush hemorrhages and extended deep into the gluteal muscles. Histopathological examination revealed congested liver, necrotic changes in the kidney, focal interstitial nephritis and eosinophilic exudate in distal convoluted tubule, myocardial degeneration, congested spleen with hemosiderin pigments and mild neuronal degeneration. Nested PCR was carried out on the liver samples and was positive for Ehrlichia canis.
