Resumo
Clinical History: An adult of unknown age, intact female bearded dragon (Pogona sp.) had multiple ulcerative foci in the skin, especially noted in the ventral neck and along the inguinal area. Due to the severity and extension of the epidermal/dermal lesions, as well as, the deleterious animal condition, the owners elected humane euthanasia and postmortem examination was performed. Necropsy Findings: The skin at the level of the ventral mandible, neck, thorax, and inguinal areas was replaced by multifocal to coalescing ulcerative foci ranging from 1.5 x 2 x 0.3 cm to 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.3 cm associated with sloughed epithelium covered by a thin yellow to light brown friable material (Fig. 1A 1C). Similar material was noted above the right eye and the abdomen. No other significant alterations were noted.(AU)
