Diarrhoea in a Border Terrier was associated with inflammatory lesions of the myenteric plexus. This lesion has rarely been reported in dogs. It is speculated that the myenteric plexus lesions were responsible for an autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which resulted in extreme intestinal hypermotility and subsequent diarrhoea. Suggested tests for dogs suspected to have autonomic dysfunction are given.
