Lumbar Sprain in Dogs and Cats: Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
A lumbar sprain is injury to the lower-back muscles, ligaments, and spinal joints from sudden over-contraction or trauma, most common in small breeds and pets with rickets or nutritional deficiency. Signs range from a stiff arched back and weak hind limbs to, in severe cases, paralysis and loss of bowel or bladder control. Prompt rest and veterinary care prevent lasting nerve damage.
Polyradiculoneuritis (Acute Polyneuritis) in Dogs and Cats
Polyradiculoneuritis is an inflammation of multiple nerve roots that causes flaccid paralysis, sometimes including the respiratory muscles. Its cause is uncertain but may be autoimmune, and most pets recover over three to six weeks with supportive care.
Spinal Cord Contusion and Concussion in Dogs and Cats
Spinal cord contusion and concussion are traumatic injuries in which a blow, fall, or underlying bone disease damages the cord without necessarily fracturing the spine. They disrupt nerve signals to the limbs and bladder, and severe cases can cause sudden paralysis or even respiratory arrest.
Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis in Dogs and Cats
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a severe chronic inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused by infiltration with eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. It is often linked to allergy and is marked by persistent vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and a high eosinophil count in the blood.
Chronic Enteritis in Dogs and Cats
