dc.description.abstractThis report describes the case of a spitz dog with steroid responsive meningitis arteritis. The study was for a period of five months (February to June 2017). A four year old male spitz was presented to the Small animal outpatient unit of the Department of Clinics, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai-7 with a history of anorexia which lasted for 3 days, pyrexia, cervical pain and ataxia. The dog was initially stabilized with antibiotics, antipyretics and supplements. Subsequently, routine haematobiochemical analysis was performed. Serum biochemical values revealed lower levels of albumin (1.90 g/dl). The dog appeared to recover but the condition took a regress. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed severe neutrophilia and few lymphocytes. The cerebrospinal fluid was subjected for cytology and bacteriological culture to rule out actual cellularity and bacterial meningitis. Cerebrospinal fluid was slightly turbid with 90 mg/dl protein content and 80% neutrophils with 20% lymphocytes. The dog was diagnosed with steroid responsive meningitis arteritis based on cytology and as the culture result was negative. It was placed on corticosteroid treatment. The dog recovered significantly and post treatment analysis was uneventful.en_US
