Canine nasal cryptococcosis

Katherine E. Gingrich, Francisco R. Carvallo

Clinical History: A 17.8 kg female, spayed, German Shorthaired Pointer with a month-long history of waxing and waning lethargy and obtunded mentation. The patient was treated initially with Doxycycline and Temaril-P and later with Prednisone. The patient’s clinical signs were worse when the Prednisone was tapered. There were concerns for multifocal brain and brainstem disease based on physical exam, and because of financial constraints, euthanasia was elected.
