Plain-English summary
Three 7-week-old English cocker spaniel puppies were brought in with skin problems and weakness in their back legs. They were diagnosed with juvenile cellulitis, a skin condition that can also affect the nervous system. The veterinarian treated them with a combination of cyclosporin A and prednisolone, which are medications that help reduce inflammation and immune response. After starting treatment, the puppies showed improvement in their skin lesions and regained strength in their hind legs.
