Lobular hepatitis dissecans is an inflammatory disorder of idiopathic cause, characterized as chronic hepatitis. It develops in the young liver after recurrent lesions to the organ, has an unfavorable prognosis, with the shortest survival within liver diseases. A seven-month Golden Retriever male canine with apathy, inappetence, abdomen bulging and icteric mucosa was referred to the Veterinary Clinical Hospital (HCV) of the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel). Clinical examination and laboratory test indicated hepatic disorder. Three days after admission, the patient died and was referred for necropsy at the UFPel Regional Diagnostic Laboratory (LRD). The diagnosis was lobular hepatitis probably due to the use of dipropionate of imidocarb for primary treatment of babesiosis, which is also used for parasitic diseases in cattle and horses, has been suggested as the cause of the disease.
