Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old female mixed-breed dog was brought in with severe throat pain and difficulty swallowing. She was diagnosed with acute esophageal necrosis, a serious condition where the esophagus is damaged, and also had an infection caused by Leishmania chagasi, a parasite. Treatment details are not specified, but managing both conditions is crucial for recovery. It's important for pet owners to be aware of these serious health issues and seek veterinary care if their dog shows similar symptoms.
