Abstract
A one-year-old, female miniature Dachshund presented to our hospital for ovariohysterectomy. The health condition of the dog was unremarkable. Surgery was performed under general anesthesia using fentanyl, propofol, and isoflurane. The dog was discharged on the same day of surgery. After discharge, redness on the whole body appeared gradually. No abnormalities were found on the physical exam and blood work aside from the skin lesion. However, the dog was hospitalized and observed because of concerns about toxic shock syndrome. During hospitalization, a skin biopsy was performed and it revealed superficial vascular dilation with mild edema. The skin lesion spontaneously regressed approximately 10 days after the surgery, and has not reoccurred.
