1988年12月7日，一只10周大的雄性杂交梗犬被送往科特圣吕克动物医院进行常规检查。历史表明，这只狗是希腊最近收养的一只流浪狗。根据加拿大规定，这只狗在进入加拿大前一周，在希腊接受了兽医检查并接种了疫苗。抵达加拿大后，主人在粪便中发现了绦虫片段，但小狗其他方面都正常。体格检查发现异常现象为毛质差、脾肿大、粘膜苍白、上颌外侧牙龈出现小脓疱以及广泛性牙龈炎。这只小狗聪明、机敏、反应灵敏。初步诊断检查包括全血细胞计数（CBC）和粪便分析，结果呈阴性。该狗接受口服吡喹酮 5 毫克/公斤（Droncit，Haver，怡陶碧谷，安大略省）和双羟萘酸噻嘧啶 5 毫克/公斤（Pyr-a-Pam，rogar/STB，伦敦，安大略省）治疗。该犬将接受营养均衡的商业饮食，并指示主人将其送回重新评估。三周后重新评估时，主人报告该犬出现持续一周的间歇性右后肢跛行，严重口臭，偶尔牙龈出血。体检发现直肠温度升高（39.7°C）、脾肿大、双侧下颌下淋巴结明显肿大以及与全身性牙周病相关的口臭。触诊右后肢大腿尾部肌肉群引起疼痛。
A 10-week-old intact male terrier-cross dog was presented to the Cote St. Luc Hospital for Animals on December 7, 1988 for routine examination. History revealed that the dog was a stray recently adopted in Greece. In accordance with Canadian regulations, the dog was examined and vaccinated by a veterinarian in Greece prior to entering Canada one week before presentation. Upon arrival in Canada, the owner had observed tapeworm segments in the stool but the puppy was otherwise normal. On physical examination, the abnormal findings were a poor hair coat, splenomegaly, pale mucous membranes, a small pustule on the lateral maxillary gingiva, and generalized gingivitis. The puppy was bright, alert, and responsive. Initial diagnostic workup included a complete blood count (CBC) and fecal analysis which was negative. The dog was treated with oral praziquantel at 5 mg/kg (Droncit, Haver, Etobicoke, Ontario) and pyrantel pamoate at 5 mg/kg (Pyr-a-Pam, rogar/STB, London, Ontario). The dog was to be fed a nutritionally balanced commercial diet, and the owner was instructed to return the dog for re-evaluation.Upon re-evaluation three weeks later, the owner reported the dog to have an intermittent right hindlimb lameness of one-week duration, severe halitosis, and occasional gingival bleeding. On physical examination, there was an elevated rectal temperature (39.7°C), splenomegaly, marked bilateral submandibular lym-phadenopathy, and halitosis associated with generalized periodontal disease. Palpation of the caudal thigh muscle groups of the right hindlimb elicited pain.
