Abstract

Acute canine idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis is an immune-mediated disease and a more common form of acute polyneuropathy in dogs. Lawyers have been related to the response to limb flaccidity, resulting in the understanding of the nerve and spinal branches, usually without loss of sensitivity. Clinical and therapeutic self-variability are manifested through the clinical response and rehabilitation of the animal, in most cases, completely. The monitoring of the animal is of great relevance for a symptomatology not returned aggressively, causing a great repercussion to the patient. Differential detection, intoxication, toxicity or femoral infection and memory antibodies to protozoa such as Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum are required. The report was submitted to a study of acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis in canine sent to the Hospital of Veterinary Clinics (HCV) of the Federal University of Pelotas. The results were negative to the clinical and therapeutic diagnosis, having obtained an improvement in the quality of life, being this a totally symptomatic treatment.
