Abstract:
Focal metatarsal fistulas were identified in 5 young adult German Shepherd Dogs or dogs of similar breeding. A specific cause was not identified when biopsy specimens for culture and histologic examination were evaluated. Corticosteroid treatment was beneficial for some lesions. The dogs did not have other dermatologic diseases, and the clinical course, although chronic, was generally benign.
