- A 7-year-old neutered male Persian cat experienced acute vomiting and loss of appetite, leading to severe abdominal distension and the need for exploratory surgery due to suspected gastrointestinal issues.
- The surgery revealed severely distended intestines with no observed peristalsis and a diagnosis of septic peritonitis linked to lymphocytic ganglioneuritis affecting the enteric nervous system.
- After treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanate and pyridostigmine, the cat's condition improved significantly, and it remains well 30 months later, marking a unique case of successful treatment for ganglioneuritis in cats.
