[A case of liver abscesses in a bull].
During a farm visit a breeding bull was presented with signs of anorexia, somnolence, and loss of condition. These signs were chronic and slowly progressive. Clinical examination revealed an enlarged liver and subsequent ultrasonography revealed multiple abscesses in the liver. This was confirmed during post-mortem examination. Ultrasonography, proved to be of great diagnostic value, especially because it is a quick and non-invasive procedure.
