Spontaneous thrombo-embolism is an extremely rare disease in swine. We observed such a disease in a mini-pig. The animal attracted attention, because it did not eat its fill and breathed hamperally and shallowly but without stridor. Blood gas analysis and ECG findings indicated changes like in an acute pulmonary infection. 24 h after it had been admitted to our animal pasture the animal was dead. The reason was a pulmonary thrombo-embolism.
