【 摘 要 】

Cutaneous oomycotic infections are a rare dermatological disease primarily affecting horses and dogs. Response to medical management with antifungal therapies is poor because these organisms are not true fungi. Complete cure is unlikely if the infected tissue is unable to be completely surgically excised. This is a case report of successfully-managed cutaneous paralagenidiosis infection of the perianal tissue in an 11-month-old male intact Labrador retriever utilizing hyperbaric oxygen therapy, corticosteroids, minocycline, mefenoxam, and surgery.
