Duck viral enteritis, diffuse petechiation, liver

This duck liver is enlarged as a result of hepatitis. The liver color is pale yellowish to tan, with multiple pale foci that correspond to areas of necrosis. In late stages of the disease, a pale copper color and diffuse petechiation of the liver's surface are clinical signs of duck viral enteritis, and pale areas are indicative of focal necrosis.
