Abstrakt: Intra-abdominal eumycetomas are rare in dogs and usually attributed to contamination of surgical wounds post-operatively. This is the first report of extensively disseminated intra-abdominal eumycetomas due to Curvularia resulting in urinary tract obstruction and associated chronic recurrent urinary tract infections in a Labrador retriever. Identification of the fungal genus was performed on samples obtained from culture of eumycetomic fungal grains that had been collected sterilely at necropsy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
