RESUMO
Disseminated Rhodococcus equi infection was diagnosed in an Anglo-Nubian goat presenting for non-weight bearing lameness of the right pelvic limb. Radiographs showed a moth-eaten osteolytic lesion in the proximal tibia suggestive of an aggressive bone lesion. Two pulmonary nodules were also present on thoracic radiographs. Initial antemortem cytology of the tibial lesion was suggestive of Rhodococcosis and the goat was sent to necropsy. Necropsy and bacterial culture confirmed the diagnosis of disseminated R. equi infection in the right tibia, lungs, and liver.
