Abstract
A 10-year-old intact female Chihuahua, 2.5 kg of weight and BCS 2 (range 1–5) was taken in for medical consultation due to the presence of four skin lesion, two in the ventral thoracic region and two in the dorsal region. The dog was receiving medication due to congestive heart failure. A cutaneous form of canine leishmaniosis was diagnosed using molecular tools from a 10-years-old Chihuahua dog living in the Caribbean region. The critical health condition of the geriatric patient may have evolved to a fatal renal failure. This report is the first of a fatal case of leishmaniosis in a dog from the endemic region in Mexico.
