Abstract
A 13-year-old spaniel dog developped superficial necrolytic dermatitis asso ciated to a liver cirrhosis probably secondary to a long lasting treatment with phenobarbital. The dog was lethargic. Skin lesions occured in footpads and then in the muzzle and periocular zone. Laboratory evaluation showed n ormal glycemia, elevations in activity of liver enzymes and microcytic, hyp ochromic anemia. Histologically, lesions confirmed hepatocutaneous syndrome . Clinical, hematological and histopathological aspects are discussed.
