Electrical injures in domestic animals are most often associated with accidental death. Clinical and pathological profiles depend on several eletrical current parameters such as circuit type and amount, voltage, and duration of exposure and they are also influenced by animal's condition, including wet or dry coat and current movement throughout the body. Anatomopathological lesions may be absent or may include less specific or no-specific lesions such as early or localized development of rigor mortis, signis of acute circulatory failure, or severe thermoelectrical burns. In the present case reports we described gross lesions and histological findings found in an accidentally electrocuted cat by low voltage current.

Abstract
Electrical injures in domestic animals are most often associated with accidental death. Clinical and pathological profiles depend on several eletrical current parameters such as circuit type and amount, voltage, and duration of exposure and they are also influenced by animal's condition, including wet or dry coat and current movement throughout the body. Anatomopathological lesions may be absent or may include less specific or no-specific lesions such as early or localized development of rigor mortis, signis of acute circulatory failure, or severe thermoelectrical burns. In the present case reports we described gross lesions and histological findings found in an accidentally electrocuted cat by low voltage current.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
