A 5-year-old female West Highland White Terrier dog is brought back to the clinic ten
days after being diagnosed as having pyoderma. Physical examination at the time had
shown papules, pustules, and epidermal collarettes predominantly distributed in the
inguinal region. A two-week course of trimethoprim-sulfadiazine at a standard dose
was prescribed, and the client reported clearing of the lesions within a few days. The
,dog has now developed spreading, circular, bull's-eye erythematous lesions on the
thorax and forelimbs. There are some papules but no erosion or ulceration. A skin
biopsy is obtained. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step pending
the results of the skin biopsy?
Administer oral prednisone
Change medication to cephalexin
Change medication to itraconazole
Continue current therapy
Discontinue all therapy
