However, pelvic limb reflexes might also be reduced in dogs with a T3-L3 myelopathy and concurrent spinal shock.<h4>Hypothesis/objectives</h4>We hypothesized that statistical models could be used to identify clinical variables associated with spinal shock in dogs with spinal cord injuries.<h4>Animals</h4>Cohort of 59 dogs with T3-L3 myelopathies and spinal shock and 13 dogs with L4-S3 myelopathies.<h4>Methods</h4>Data used for this study were prospectively entered by partner institutions into the International Canine Spinal Cord Injury observational registry between October 2016 and July 2019.
