Plain-English summary
A 3-year-old female Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen was brought to the vet because she was straining to have a bowel movement, a condition known as tenesmus. The vet discovered she had a significant inflammation in her colon and other areas of her intestines, which was likely caused by an immune response. Treatment details were not specified, but addressing such conditions typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and manage any infections. It's important for pet owners to follow up with their veterinarian for the best course of action.

Abstract
A 3-year-old female Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen is presented with tenesmus alvi caused by a 15 cm long chronic regional cicatrising eosinophilic coloproctitis with bacterial masses surrounded by clubs, resembling actinomycosis. Similar changes were found in the caecum, next to a nodular eosinophilic inflammation in the ileal mucosa.
