Histiocytic ulcerative colitis (HUC)
This unusual form of IBD has been reported almost exclusively in Boxers but also sporadically in other breeds (see also 6.4.2.1). There are two reports of HUC in an ancestrally related breed, the French bulldog, and also recently HUC has been recorded in a Mastiff, an Alaskan Malamute, and a Doberman.63 The disease is almost invariably restricted to the colon, although a case with SI involvement has also been observed (A. Boari, personal communication, 2004).
