Atypical Cutaneous Fungal Infections: Sporotrichosis
Sporotrichosis is a fungal infection caused by Sporothrix schenckii, it is uncommon in dogs compared to cats, likely due to differences in behavior and exposure. This rarity makes it a challenging diagnosis for veterinarians; many cases may initially be mistaken for bacterial infections, allergic reactions, or other more common skin conditions.
Recently, we had the opportunity to treat one of these rare cases—a foxhound named Evie—right here at Mid-Atlantic Veterinary Dermatology.
