Canine Distemper is one of the most important infectious diseases affecting dogs worldwide. The virus affects several organs, including the nervous system. The demyelinating leukoencephalomyelitis is the most frequent neurological presentation of Distemper. The neuropathological changes that occur...

Background: Hypothyroidism has been implicated in the development of multiple peripheral mono- and polyneuropathies in dogs. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the clinical and electrophysiologic effects of experimentally induced hypothyroidism on the peripheral nervous system of dogs....

The aim of this report is to describe the possible cause, diagnosis and treatment of a postinjection ischiatic nerve injury in a dog with complete recovery. A 3-year-old neutered male dachshund dog was referred to the Veterinary Hospital due to inability to weight support in the right hind limb...

Lipomas are common, usually slow-growing, benign tumours of mesenchymal origin that most commonly occur on the proximal limb and trunk of middle-aged to older dogs. They are rarely associated with either local invasion or malignancy, unlike infiltrative lipomas and liposarcomas, respectively. Three ...

Lipomas are benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms composed of adipose cells and are usually found in the subcutaneous tissue. Occasionally, lipomas may invade muscles or grow between them, in which case they are characterized as infiltrative lipomas. Clinical signs resulting from an...

To describe the ultrasonographic technique for investigation of the canine sciatic nerve, four canine cadaver pelvic limbs, two live healthy dogs, and five canine patients with suspected peripheral sciatic nerve lesions were examined with a high-resolution linear ultrasound transducer. The caudal...

Six dogs with accidental paresis were subjected to neurological limb response examination. The reflexes of rear limb were evaluated and graded as per standard clinical methods. Therapeutics efficacy of Methyl prednisolone sodium succinate was evaluated in treating dogs with accidentally paresis....

To construct a sensory neuropathy model, excess pyridoxine (150 mg/kg s.i.d.) was injected subcutaneously in dogs over a period of 7 days. During the administrations period, the dogs experienced body weight reduction and proprioceptive loss involving the hindquarters. After pyridoxine...

Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) are a group of syndromes that occur in the body away from the primary tumor, due to the indirect effects of neoplasia. These syndromes which affect most of the organ systems include neurological paraneoplastic syndromes (NPNS) which arise once the neuromuscular...

Background: Generalized myokymia and neuromyotonia (M/NM) in Jack Russell Terriers (JRTs) is related to peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome in humans, a symptom complex resulting from diverse etiologies. Objective: Clinical and electrodiagnostic evaluation is used to narrow the list of...
