Plain-English summary
An 11-year-old spayed female Alaskan malamute was brought in because she was not eating and seemed very tired. The vet found swollen lymph nodes, pale gums, fast heart rate, and difficulty breathing. Tests showed she had both lymphoma (a type of cancer) and disseminated coccidioidomycosis (a fungal infection). She was treated with antibiotics, chemotherapy, and antifungal medications.

Abstract
An 11-year-old, spayed female Alaskan malamute with a history of coccidioidal osteomyelitis was evaluated for inappetance and lethargy. Findings included generalized lymphadenopathy, pale mucous membranes, tachycardia, and labored breathing. Laboratory findings and radiographic imaging were consistent with generalized lymphoma and disseminated coccidioidomycosis. Treatment consisted of antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, and antifungals.
