An 8-year-old male Shiba dog presented with chronic vomiting and diarrhoea. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed severe enteritis and infection of the duodenal mucosa with Echinostoma hortense. We performed therapy for parasites and enteritis. The therapy was successful for deworming, and temporarily improved the symptoms, but the dog died soon thereafter. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report of an ante mortem diagnosis of E. hortense infection in a dog.
