Abstract
A 13-month-old German shepherd dog was presented with acute onset of anorexia, pyrexia, lymphadenopathy, and tonsillitis. Tularemia was diagnosed based on a greater-than-fourfold increase in antiFrancisella tularensis antibody titers over a three-week period. The disease was self-limiting, and clinical signs resolved within five days with only supportive therapy.
