Abstract
A small nodule causing repeated rectal prolapse was surgically removed from a four year old Dachshund residing for her entire life in Connecticut. Histologic examination of the biopsy specimen revealed sections of Spirocerca lupi (Rudolphi 1809) surrounded by a granulomatous reaction and fibrous wall.
