Abstract: | A 9 yr old spayed female cocker spaniel presented for an acute onset of weakness. Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria were found 36 hr after presentation. The dog was managed for several electrolyte and mineral abnormalities and rhabdomyolysis-induced acute renal failure. The diagnosis of idiopathic necrotizing myopathy was determined by histopathology and by the exclusion of underlying infectious agents and metabolic defects. The dog recovered completely from the acute crisis and acute renal failure. |
