Abstract

Unlike most cases of eosinophilic meningitis, this dog was a very young female and of a small breed, vital signs remained normal throughout, and there was an extremely rapid and stable resolution of most neurological signs when the COX-2 inhibitor was withdrawn and glucocorticosteroid treatment was instituted. We believe that our experience with a recent canine neurological case will be of interest to readers as it highlights the possibility that drugs may be a cause of the syndromes associated with aseptic meningitis and encephalitis in dogs, as in people.
