Plain-English summary
A dog was treated for symptoms that looked like leptospirosis, including fever and liver issues, but the initial antibiotic treatment with amoxicillin didn’t help. Further testing revealed that the real cause of the dog's illness was a bacteria called Aeromonas hydrophila, which is often found in water. Unfortunately, the dog did not recover from this serious infection.

Abstract
A dog was treated for leptospirosis on clinical and epidemiological arguments. The amoxicillin treatment was not successful. Pure culture of Aeromonas hydrophila was then obtained from liver and kidney, indicating that the septicemia was due to this bacteria commonly found in waters.
