A 10-year-old, male neutered Husky-mix had clinical and histopathological findings consistent with mucocutaneous pemphigus vulgaris. After steroid induction, the patient remained in remission with two minor relapses with ciclosporin and vitamin E for 23 months. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of long-term control of canine pemphigus vulgaris with ciclosporin and vitamin E.

The in vitro susceptibility of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius to cefovecin sodium (CFV) was investigated using isolates obtained from dogs with suspected bacterial skin infection between 2008 and 2018. Bacterial species were identified. The resistance rates of S. pseudintermedius increased approximately five times from 2008 to 2014 but remained around 20% after 2014. The results highlight the importance of continued monitoring and education in the use of CFV to minimize drug resistance.
