  • Title: A case report of canine protothecosis.
    Author: Hosaka S, Hosaka M.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 2004 May; 66(5):593-7. PubMed ID: 15187378.
    Abstract:
    A 10-year-old spayed mongrel dog was referred with repeated intercurrent hematochezia and anal bleeding. The dog was vigorous and had a normal appetite, and the fecal test showed no abnormal signs. Despite treatment primarily with sulfasalazine, the condition did not improve and unilateral blindness developed. A Prototheca zopfii infection was identified by further examination with bowel culture on Sabouraud's agar without cyclohexane and antibiotics. Subsequent to a vision loss in the other eye, the dog died showing signs of neurological disorder.
