Abdominal fat necrosis in three Vietnamese Potbellied pigs

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Three cases of abdominal fat necrosis in Vietnamese Potbellied pigs are described in this report. Two pigs were presented for nonspecific clinical signs of varying durations, including lethargy and hyporexia, and one pig was presented for euthanasia due to severe, progressive lameness in which abdominal fat necrosis was found incidentally. A diagnosis of abdominal fat necrosis was made through a combination of transabdominal ultrasonography, exploratory laparotomy and postmortem examination with histopathology.
