| Popis: | This case series describes arteriosclerosis and arteritis with secondary rupture and exsanguination in 2 colubrid snakes, a 3-year-old female Okeetee morph corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus guttatus) and a 14-year-old female Sinaloan milk snake (Lampropeltis triangulum sinaloae). The cases represent a description of arteritis with chronic degenerative arterial remodeling, leading to arterial fragility and eventual rupture, resulting in severe morbidity and acute death. These cases contribute to the understanding of cardiovascular disease in snakes, for which little has been documented. |
