Plain-English summary
A dog was diagnosed with a severe fungal infection affecting its nails, known as onychomycosis, caused by a fungus called Microsporum gypseum. The owner likely noticed changes in the dog's nails, such as discoloration or brittleness. The veterinarian treated the infection successfully using a topical medication called enilconazole and an oral antifungal called griseofulvin. After treatment, the dog's condition improved, and the nails began to heal.
