A case of blastomycosis in a coonhound is described. Characteristic granulomas and organisms were found in the lungs, thoracic and mesenteric lymph nodes, and in both eyes. The ocular lesions were hyalitis, retinitis and optic neuritis, with secondary glaucoma from exudate which extended to the anterior chamber.
