Abstract
A 4 year-old Doberman Pinscher was presented with periocular skin lesions which has developed after climbing a mountain with the client. Cytologic preparations of the periocular skin lesions revealed marked eosinophilic infiltration, and a few neutrophils, lymphocytes and epithelial cells. These findings are consistent with eosinophilic furunculosis of the face typically in medium breed dogs. The patient was administered orally with prednisolone 1mg/kg for 2 weeks. The skin lesions were regressed responsively. The patient has no recurrent signs.
