Canine pemphigus vulgaris treated with gold salt therapy.
A nine year old spayed female Collie was diagnosed as having pemphigus vulgaris. Response to corticosteroid and antibiotic therapies was unsatisfactory. Aurothioglucose therapy was used later as the sole treatment. The dog achieved a complete remission lasting at least ten months.
