Plain-English summary
A young spayed female dog was found with severe skin issues that looked like chemical burns, raising concerns about possible abuse. Unfortunately, the dog was brought in for a necropsy, which means she had already passed away. The examination revealed that her skin problems were actually caused by a type of cancer called epitheliotropic lymphoma, which can lead to ulcerative dermatitis (painful skin sores). This case highlights the importance of understanding that not all skin issues are due to external injuries; some can be linked to serious underlying health problems.
