Abstract

This is a report on cauda equina syndrome in dogs with an emphasis on clinical noninvasive treatment for pain control. Cauda equina is a bundle of nerve roots on the vertebral canal beginning at the end of the spinal cord, mainly affecting large dogs. Conservative treatment is an option over surgical treatment. This report thus shows the effects of the use of epidural applications of methylprednisolone in three applications with interval of 21 days.
