A 6-year-old, spayed female, American domestic shorthair was presented with a 10-month history of nodules on the dorsum. Diagnosis of pyogranulomatous panniculitis caused by Mycobacterium fortuitum/peregrinum group was achieved by using tissue culture, chromatography, and histopathologic examination. Pathological findings, diagnosis, and clinical management of the condition are discussed.

Case Summary: A 9-year-old male castrated domestic shorthair cat from northern California was evaluated for a 12-month history of dermal and subcutaneous dermatitis in the inguinal region. Histopathologic examination of a biopsy revealed severe, chronic, multifocal to coalescing pyogranulomatous dermatitis and panniculitis, accompanied by ulceration and central necrosis. Aerobic bacterial culture of lesions yielded mycobacterial growth.

(homotypic synonym: ) represents an ungrouped thermotolerant rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) species occasionally associated with infections and disease in humans. In this report, we describe a case of pyogranulomatous dermatitis and panniculitis due to in an immunocompetent adult cat. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of infection in animals.

Article Synopsis
- Buruli ulcer, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium ulcerans, affects the skin and tissues of various animals, including possums, and can lead to severe health issues and poor welfare.
- Four common ringtail possums in Melbourne suffered from severe forms of the disease, resulting in extensive tissue damage, necessitating euthanasia due to the severity of their ulcerative lesions.
- Findings suggest that Buruli ulcer significantly impairs possum mobility and social behaviors, with infected possums also potentially spreading the bacteria, highlighting the need for more research on the disease's impacts and potential interventions.

Article Synopsis
- Pseudomonas luteola is a gram-negative bacterium that thrives in humid environments and can cause infections mainly in immunocompromised individuals, often after invasive medical procedures.
- The bacterium was first reported as a pathogen in ferrets in Spain in 2012 and has since been identified sporadically in various countries, associated with serious conditions like respiratory disease and abscesses.
- A clinical case demonstrated successful non-invasive treatment for a ferret with ulcerative pododermatitis and lymphadenitis caused by P. luteola, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention.

Article Synopsis
- An 11-year-old male crossbreed dog was evaluated for lethargy, reduced appetite, and fever over 10 days.
- Blood tests showed high calcium levels and increased inflammation markers, but no visible skin issues were found during exams.
- Treatment with prednisolone led to significant improvement, indicating the condition was a sterile, immune-mediated inflammation rather than an infection.
