Plain-English summary
An 8-week-old male Labrador retriever was brought in because he suddenly started limping on his left back leg. Soon after, he developed juvenile cellulitis, which caused skin problems on his face, ear infections, swollen lymph nodes, and signs of tiredness and sadness. The veterinarian treated him with glucocorticoids (a type of steroid), and he made a full recovery.
