A ten-year-old, entire male Cocker Spaniel presented for evaluation of a progressive, suppurative paronychia of all four feet. Soaking the feet in drying agents decreased the exudation but longterm antibiotic therapy had not elicited an improvement. The foot pads were crusted and cracked and the nail beds were deformed. Crusting, ulcerative lesions on the oral mucocutaneous junctions and scrotum, and hyperkeratosis of the nasal planum were present. Results of initial blood work are shown.
