Plain-English summary
A Goldendoodle was brought to the vet for sneezing, coughing, lethargy, and a nosebleed on the right side, along with clear eye discharge. After a CT scan, the vet found a lot of soft tissue in the dog's right nasal passage, which was causing the symptoms. Biopsies showed a fungal infection, and the dog was treated with antifungal medication for 75 days. Thankfully, the treatment worked, and the dog fully recovered from the nasal infection.

Abstract
This is a case ofrhinitis in a Goldendoodle, that was presented for evaluation of sneezing, coughing, lethargy, as well as right-sided epistaxis and clear ocular discharge. Computed tomography revealed a large amount of soft tissue within the right nasal passage that obscured the osseous turbinates from the right maxillary canine tooth to the right side of the choanae. Biopsies revealed eosinophilic granulomas with variable number of basophilic to negatively staining, septate, fungal hyphae with non-parallel walls and irregular branching that were subsequently determined to bevia panfungal PCR and sequencing. Complete and sustained resolution of clinical disease was achieved after 75 days of systemic antifungal therapy. This report describes for the first time, important clinical features of a dog with nasal conidiobolomycosis that will facilitate its recognition, prognostication, and treatment in clinical practice.
