Urogenital blastomycosis in a dog.
Blastomycosis was diagnosed in a dog by finding the causative organism in preputial exudate and urine. Prostatic involvement was confirmed by transrectal biopsy. The dog was not treated, and, after it was euthanatized, a complete necropsy was performed. The only other sites where organisms were found were the iliac lymph nodes and the lungs. Although organisms were not found in any other part fo the genitourinary tract, both kidneys had diffuse glomerulonephritis and tubular degeneration.
