Description A labrador retriever pup aged 50 days was brought to Madras Veterinary College Small animal outpatient Unit with a history of anorexia, pyrexia, dullness with papules and pustules over muzzle and ear pinnae since three days. Facial edema, periocular edema and enlargement of pre scapular and submandibular lymphnodes were noticed on clinical examination. After complete physical examination, blood samples, skin scrapings, samples for bacterial culture and cytology were taken. Hemogram revealed anemia, serum biochemistry revealed low serum total protein concentration, skin scrapings were negative for parasites, no growth was  present on bacterial culture from aspirated pustules, cytology from moist lesions showed presence of neutrophils and cocci. Based on the physical examination, hematological, biochemical and microbiological investigations, the present case was diagnosed as Canine Juvenile cellulitis and treatment initiated with antibiotic and corticosteroid parenterally for three days. There was a remarkable improvement noticed with reduced facial edema, reduced periocular edema and dry external ear pinnae. Treatment was continued with oral antibiotic for seven days and the pup recovered uneventfully.
