Juvenile cellulitis

Puppy with juvenile cellulitis at 7 weeks old.

Juvenile cellulitis, also known as puppy strangles or juvenile pyoderma, is an uncommon disease of dogs.[1] Symptoms include dermatitis, lethargy, depression and lameness. When puppies are first presented with what appears to be staphylococcal pyoderma, juvenile cellulitis, a relatively rare condition, may not be considered.[2]
