Perianal fistula, also known as anal furunculosis, is a serious medical condition that causes chronic inflammation and ulcerative, tunnel-like lesions of the perianal tissues surrounding a dog's anus. It starts as tiny holes in the dog's skin in the anus area and then evolves into deep tunnel-like lesions until the anus is consumed entirely. Perianal fistula is relatively common among senior German Shepherds. In fact, of all diagnosed canine perianal fistula cases, 80% are middle-aged and older German Shepherds, and most are male. Unfortunately, many German Shepherd owners are unaware of this progressive and painful disease until it's progressed.
In this #LifeWithOldDogs® blog post and podcast, we'll provide information on perianal fistula in senior German Shepherds, including what it is, the symptoms to look out for, and treatment options. By arming yourself with knowledge about perianal fistula, you can be better prepared to deal with this condition if your fur friend ever suffers from it.
