ICD-10 Code B08.61 – Bovine Stomatitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B08.61 – Bovine stomatitis
What it is
Bovine stomatitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the mouth of cattle. Use this code when documentation specifically identifies stomatitis in a bovine animal.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include oral inflammation, pain, drooling, reduced appetite, and difficulty chewing. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use B08.61 when the record clearly states bovine stomatitis as the diagnosis. It may also fit cases where the clinician documents mouth inflammation in cattle and confirms stomatitis rather than a broader oral disorder. Check documentation if the species or site is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stomatitis in humans or for oral lesions without a confirmed bovine diagnosis. If the note describes a different mouth condition, code the documented disorder instead.
Coding tip
Verify both the animal species and the exact oral diagnosis before assigning B08.61.
