Acute spinal diseases in dogs
- To know the most common acute myelopathies that dogs may suffer from
- By taking into account the patient signalment, obtaining a clinical history and performing neurological examination, we can narrow down our list of differential diagnoses
- With the most likely two or three differential diagnoses in our mind, we can choose the best diagnostic work-up or the best management for every case
- Advanced imaging and spinal surgery may be needed in some cases, but some other cases can be successfully managed without these
