Abstract: A 4-year-old female Doberman dog was presented with non-follicular pustules over the trunk and head. After a skin biopsy, bacterial culture of the pustule contacts and an antinuclear antibody blood test, sub-corneal pustular dermatosis was diagnosed. Dapsone therapy was found to be ineffective, but systemic gold-therapy at weekly intervals over a 12 week period induced remission which has been maintained for the past 4 years.
