Original publication title: Ulcerative eosinophilic stomatitis in three Cavalier King Charles spaniels.
Plain-English summary
Three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were brought in with painful mouth sores that made it hard for them to eat. The sores looked similar to other known conditions but were different under the microscope. The vets treated two of the dogs with corticosteroids, which helped one fully recover and the other partially improve. The third dog healed on its own without any treatment.

Abstract
Ulcerative eosinophilic stomatitis affecting three Cavalier King Charles spaniels is described. The lesions are similar in gross appearance to previously reported palatine eosinophilic granulomas, but histologically they lack granuloma formation. The cause of the lesions is not known. Treatment with corticosteroids led to the resolution of one case and partial resolution of a second. A third case resolved spontaneously without therapy.
