A male neutered Abyssinian-crossbred cat presented with a chief complaint of head and truncal alopecia, and was diagnosed with Microsporum canis infection. Fluconazole was initially started, but was discontinued by the owner 70 days later. Dermatophytic granuloma developed in the dermis of the left lower jaw 22 months later. Although itraconazole was effective, the granuloma recurred subsequently, and spread to the oral cavity. The cat died from cachexia suspected to be caused by feeding difficulty on day 921 following the initial presentation. This report highlights the relevance of dermatophytosis and dermatophytic granuloma in cats, and the importance of compliance with medication on the part of pet owners.

Rabbits kept at elementary schools were examined to clarify the risks of zoonotic mycosis for pupils and staff. Though no animal dermatophytes, a highly pathogenic human pathogen, were detected on any of 61 animals, a strain of Microsporum gypseum, a lower pathogenic species, classified as a geophilic dermatophyte, was found on 1 rabbit. While the possibility of dermaphyte contamination of handlers from school rabbits seems to be rather low, all personnel and items involving rabbits and cages should be disinfected to avoid extending the risk of dermatophyte infection to children.

Objective: To identify the prevalence of skin lesions in a population of alpacas in South Australia, and to determine their distribution on the skin surface. Methods: A survey was conducted by professional alpaca shearers over a 16 day period during spring 2013 in three different geographical regions within South Australia. Skin lesions were observed and recorded using a Skin scoring chart, allowing for 11 different lesion types and 15 body areas. Results: Data were available from 338 alpacas, of which 60.4 ± 5.2% had one or more skin lesion. The most commonly observed lesions were scale and lichenification, crust, alopecia and erythema, each observed over 300 times. The most commonly affected areas were the fore and hind legs, axillae and hind feet. There was a significant association between lesion types and their anatomical location (Chi square test, p<0.0001). Conclusion: This survey of a subpopulation of South Australian alpacas has identified skin lesions in approximately 60% of subjects. Based on their location, the majority of lesions observed would not greatly influence the value of the fleece.

A small cutaneous mass in the right thigh of an 8-year-old, intact male dog was diagnosed as an extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. Histologically, the neoplasm had lobularity and was characterized by rich myxoid stroma and hypovascularity. The tumor cells displayed polymorphism, and were often arranged in characteristic cords. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, S-100a, neuronspecific enolase, and synaptophysin. Six months after the surgery, no recurrence or metastasis were observed; however, a large recurrent tumor in the right thigh extending to the abdomen and multiple pulmonary tumors were found in the dog 15 months after the surgery. The necropsy confirmed that the recurrent and pulmonary tumors were the same as the primary tumor and did not involve any cartilage or bone.

: A 4-year-old, castrated male French bulldog, and a 3-year-old, spayed female Shiba Inu presented with fistula at the bilateral metatarsus. Antimicrobials, and anti-inflammatory agents were not effective for either of these cases. Histopathological examinations revealed fibrosis along with neutrophils and mononuclear cells in fi ltration with vascular dilation and edema at the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Based on these findings, both animals were diagnosed as having focal metatarsal fistulation. Tocopherol nicotinate, 200 mg, twice a day was administered to improveing peripheral circulation, and fi stulosis were aparently disappeared. We suspected that ischemic dermatopathy played a role in its etiology.
