Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Canine Pathology

Background:

  • Juvenile cellulitis, also known as puppy strangles, is an uncommon immune-mediated skin disease affecting young dogs.
  • Early recognition is crucial for timely intervention and favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • An 8-week-old male Labrador retriever presented with acute left hind limb lameness.
  • The condition rapidly evolved to classic signs of juvenile cellulitis, including facial dermatitis, otitis externa, and lymphadenopathy.

Findings:

  • The puppy exhibited systemic signs such as lethargy and depression.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of juvenile cellulitis.

Implications:

  • Glucocorticoid therapy is an effective treatment for juvenile cellulitis.
  • Aggressive management can lead to complete resolution of clinical signs and a positive prognosis.
