This case presented last week at Affiliated Veterinary Specialists in Orlando. Female 5 year old Maltese. Severe generalized stomatitis with sublingual and palatal involvement. The nasal mucosa was extremely hyperemic. Prolific mucopurulent oral and nasal discharge. Previous biopsy non-specific inflammation. Mucocutaneous nasal and oral biopsy’s pending. Derm consult suggests either mucocutaneous pyoderma or autoimmune. No visible cutaneous lesions. Derm prescribed immunosuppressive doses of pred and Clavamox. I will post the biopsy findings and our approach to care next week when I receive the results.
