Paucibacillary paratuberculosis in a goat.

A 5-year-old Saanen doe was presented with emaciation, good appetite, normal feces, and a dry flaky hair coat. Johne's disease was tentatively diagnosed. Gross postmortem findings were a thickened, corrugated ileum and enlarged edematous mesenteric lymph nodes. Histologically, there was extensive lymphocytic infiltration of the ileal lamina propria. Mycobacterium paratuberculosis could not be identified or cultured.
