Pemphigus erythematosus in a chow chow.
A 3.5-year-old, spayed female, chow chow presented with a pruritic, ulcerative, butterfly lesion on the nasal planum, typical of the pemphigus complex. Pemphigus erythematosus was diagnosed by histopathologic examination. Treatment consisted of enrofloxacin and immunosuppressive therapy with prednisone and azathioprine. Within 5 wk of treatment, the lesions had resolved almost completely.
