An 11-year-old 13-kg (28.6-lb) spayed female Cocker Spaniel was examined because of subcutaneous nodules on the hind limbs and ventral aspects of the thorax and abdomen. Focal areas of erythema and pyoderma were associated with the nodules, and purulent exudate could be expressed from a fistula in the nodules. A nematode approximately 20.5 cm in length was isolated from a draining fistula in 1 nodule and identified as Dracunculus insignis. The dog was treated with ivermectin, fenbendazole, and metronidazole, but the owner was still able to recover worms from multiple nodules for the next year.
一只11岁、体重13千克（28.6磅）的绝育雌性可卡犬因后肢以及胸部和腹部腹侧出现皮下结节而接受检查。结节处有红斑和脓皮病的局部区域，并且从结节中的瘘管可挤出脓性渗出物。从1个结节的引流瘘管中分离出一条长度约为20.5厘米的线虫，鉴定为渺小龙线虫。该犬接受了伊维菌素、芬苯达唑和甲硝唑治疗，但在接下来的一年里，主人仍能从多个结节中取出虫体。
