Bovine pestivirus- mucosal disease (BVD)
Genetic defect leading to mucosal and epithelial ulcerations due to friction
Epitheliogenesis imperfecta- defect in laminin V
Differentials for lingual ulcerations
- Mucosal disease (BVD; bovine pestivirus)
- Malignant catarrhal fever (ovine-herpesvirus 2)
- Vesicular diseases
