Uveodermatological syndrome (Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like syndrome) with generalized depigmentation in a Dachshund.
A 3-year-old, female, black and tan Dachshund was referred with visual impairment, bilateral anterior and posterior uveitis, poliosis, and generalized dermal depigmentation. Complete blood counts and biochemical parameters, including T3 and T4, were normal. The skin biopsy showed lichenoid dermatoses with dermal infiltration of histiocytes and lymphocytes suggesting uveodermatological syndrome. Medical treatment was initiated with oral prednisone and azathioprine, and topical prednisolone and atropine. The clinical signs improved, vision was retained, and the skin began to repigment 2 months following the initiation of therapy.
