Domestic crossbred cat with disseminated aspergillosis. Diff Quik stained squash preparation of material obtained from thoracotomy of a 3 year old domestic crossbred cat with invasive Aspergillus fumigatus infection. The cat had marked enlargement of the hilar lymph nodes that resulted in a partial tracheal obstruction. This smear was made from portions of the hilar lymph node resected at thoracotomy. Magnification x 132.
-
English Pointer with nasal aspergillosis. Diff Quik stained cytological smear of material obtained from the frontal sinus of a 7 year old English Pointer with nasal aspergillosis. This infection was caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. Fungal hyphae are beautifully demonstrated by the Diff Quik stain. Magnification x 200.
-
Nasal aspergillosis in a Schnauzer. Histological section of fungal plaques removed surgically from the frontal sinus of a 5 year old Schnauzer with nasal aspergillosis. This infection was caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. H & E; x 200.
-
Disseminated aspergillosis in a German Shepherd. Masses of fungal hyphae in the renal pelvis of both kidneys in a young German Shepherd dog with disseminated Aspergillus terreus infection.
-
Nasal aspergillosis. KOH preparation of fungal plaques surgically removed from the frontal sinus of a Schnauzer with nasal aspergillosis due to Aspergillus fumigatus.
-
English Pointer with nasal aspergillosis. English Pointer with nasal aspergillosis treated by topical enilconazole injected through surgically inserted indwelling plastic tubes.
-
German Shepherd with disseminated aspergillosis. Unilateral pyelonephritis in a German Shepherd dog with disseminated Aspergillus terreus infection.

Rottweiler treated with indwelling plastic tubes. Photograph of a Rottweiler crossbred dog treated with indwelling plastic tubes placed surgically into the nasal cavity and frontal sinuses.
-
Rottweiler crossbred dog with nasal aspergillosis. A Rottweiler crossbred dog with nasal aspergillosis due to Aspergillus fumigatus infection. Note the loss of pigment below the nostril on the worst affected side – this finding is suggestive of a diagnosis of chronic nasal aspergillosis in the dog.
-
Disseminated aspergillosis in a German Shepherd. Hyphae of Aspergillus terreus in the urine of a young German Shepherd dog with disseminated aspergillosis. White blood cells are present in addition to the fungal hyphae. Wet preparation of urine; magnification x 132.
