Clinical signs of rhinitis and treatment outcomes in dogs, indicating potential complications with fungal infections.
Four dogs were presented for sneezing, nasal discharge, and epistaxis. All were mesocephalic or dolicocephalic and age ranged from 1.5-7 years. Computed tomographic imaging findings included focal destructive rhinitis. Endoscopic findings included turbinate and septum loss, mucopurulent discharge and fungal plaques. All dogs were treated with endoscopic debridement and clotrimazole infusion. One dog had resolution of clinical signs, 2 dogs developed subsequent nasal aspergillosis, and 1 dog had persistent nasal signs associated with polyposis.
