Plain-English summary
A Labrador retriever was euthanized after showing severe symptoms like extreme tiredness, vomiting, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and swelling from a skin condition called cutaneous angiomatosis. Despite treatment efforts, the dog's condition worsened, leading to a serious systemic illness. A necropsy was performed to understand the cause of death, revealing that the skin lesions may have contributed to life-threatening complications. Unfortunately, the dog did not recover.

Abstract
A Labrador retriever dog was euthanized after unsuccessful treatment for severe, progressive, lethargy, gastroenteritis, icterus, and swelling of a previously diagnosed cutaneous angiomatosis lesion. The body was submitted for necropsy. This is the first report that suggests that cutaneous angiomatosis lesions may have caused life-threatening systemic complications in a dog.
