- - Medical records of four dogs in New Zealand diagnosed with protothecosis showed varied symptoms including ocular problems, gastrointestinal issues, and skin lesions, confirming a rare but serious condition.
- - Findings revealed severe complications such as panuveitis, retinal detachment, chronic hemorrhagic diarrhea, and skin ulcerations, with diagnosis confirmed through histopathology and PCR tests.
- - Despite initial treatment efforts, only two dogs received specific medication for the infection, leading to the unfortunate decision to euthanize all four due to worsening clinical signs and quality of life concerns.
