An 11-year-old, MI Labrador retriever presented due to a non-healing wound on the left hind foot that progressed over about one month to the other hind leg and the nose. The dog has been previously diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and cutaneous adverse food reaction. He is on long term cyclosporine modified and prednisolone with additional short term medications including gabapentin, proviable, metronidazole, omeprazole, and cefpodoxime. The patient resides in Texas and does not have an extensive travel history. A superficial aerobic culture was performed before the biopsy and identified a few Staphylococcus epidermidis colonies.
