    Three dogs diagnosed as having juvenile cellulitis {juvenile pyoderma) in two years were evaluated for clinical, laboratory and therapeutic results. Breeds included Anatolian sheepdog (Kangal), terrier and cross-breed German shepherd. Of these dogs one was female and two were males, and none of them was vaccinated, their ages ranged between two and three months. In all the three dogs, there were lymphadenopathy, especially in the submandibular nodes, painful skin lesions characterised with swellings, auricular discharge, and their temperatures were normal. While perioculer and perioral lesions and seropurulent discharge were determined in two dogs and swelling under chin in the other dogs, in one dog swelling on pinnea were observed. Two dogs were lethargic and anorexic. Normocytic normochromic anemia, neutrophili and leucocytosis were significant laboratory findings. The bacteria was only isolated in one case. One of them was died. Histopathology of the skin lesions depicted pyogranulomatous cellulitis. It was observed that usage of prednisolone (2 mg/kg daily) and cephalexin or cefazolin (30 mg/kg twice daily) in the remaining dogs gave good results. It was concluded that a c:areful evaluation of clinical and laboratory findings in the diagnosis ofjuvenile cellulitis is very important. In addition, this is the first observation of the disease in Anatolian sheepdog (Kangal) which is a native breed ofTurkey and also non-short-coated.
