Plain-English summary
A Korea Jindo dog was diagnosed with pemphigus erythematosus, a skin condition that can cause painful sores and lesions. The dog was treated with a topical medication called tacrolimus, which helped improve the dog's condition over time. While the dog did not fully recover during the treatment period, there were no negative side effects from the medication. This suggests that tacrolimus can be a safe option for managing this skin problem in dogs.

No adverse effects on clinical or laboratory parameters were noted during the topical tacrolimus therapy period.
