[Solar glossitis in sled dogs].
In a colony of sledge dogs, an increased incidence of ulcerative glossitis was diagnosed. Several facts indicate that the lesions were directly caused by UV light. The presence of signs coincided with the use of the dogs of the glacier. The lesions were localized on the first part of the tongue. The histologic changes were consistent with a phototoxic reaction and other causes of glossitis were ruled out.
