Usefulness of neurological assessment scales in prognosis of meningoencephalitis of unknown origin in Yorkshire Terriers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Attempts to determine the prognostic factors that affect the survival time of canine patients with meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) have produced highly variable results. Scaled complex ratings to predict general outcomes are required. Scaled rating was recently proven to help predicting prognosis in general MUO population of dogs. However, Yorkshire Terriers (YST) are predisposed to necrotizing meningoencephalitis, especially necrotizing leukoencephalitis, which more frequently manifests itself with forebrain lesions and may exhibit a distinct disease course compared to granulomatous meningoencephalitis. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of neurological assessment scales in the prognosis of YST with MUO. The study population comprised 127 YST which
