Abstract
A unilateral, linear, papular-pustular dermatosis is described in a young B rittany Spaniel dog. The dermatosis appeared to follow Blaschko's lines and extended from the left inguinal region to the medial aspect of the left me tatarsal area. The predominant histological finding was an eosinophilic and neutrophilic pustular mural folliculitis with prominent acantholysis of in fundibular epithelium. There was a rapid and long-lasting (> 15 months) res olution after oral administration of methylprednisolone (1.6 mg kg(-1)).
