Ichthyosiform dermatosis in a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier.

Abstract  A Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier with an ichthyosiform dermatosis is described. Patches of thick, scaly skin were apparent from birth and progressed in extent as the dog aged. At 3 months of age, the scaling was generalized and was accompanied by a greasy exudation which matted the haircoat.

Ocular Halicephalobus (syn. Micronema) deletrix in a horse.

Ocular contents from a horse with a 4-week history of severe unilateral uveitis were submitted for histopathologic examination. A severe unilateral granulomatous chorioretinitis with intralesional Halicephalobus deletrix was diagnosed. The horse developed progressive neurologic signs several days following the surgery to remove ocular contents and implant a prosthesis and was subsequently euthanatized.
