Abstract
A 9-year-old female Miniature Dachshund was presented for anorexia and depression. The dog had not previously undergone any operation. Hematological examination showed neutrophilia and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration. Abdominal radiography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography showed masses in the greater curvature of the stomach and ileocecum. These masses were surgically resected.Histopathological examination of the resected masses resulted in a diagnosis of pyogranuloma without foreign body or bacterial involvement. The dog recovered well after surgery, although it did experience fever and vomiting, and its blood examination showed a temporary increase in CRP concentration. However, administration of prednisolone was initiated, resulting in the disappearance of clinical signs and a decrease in CRP concentration, and the dog was doing well with cyclosporine administration at 600 days after surgery. It is necessary to consider the development of abdominal pyogenic granuloma in miniature dachshunds without a history of surgical operation.
