| Description |
One gelding with traumatic history was presented for treatment. The horse was systematically screened under routine neurological protocol. Cranial nerve test and spinal reflexes tests were conducted. Radiograph was also made. The lesion was diagnosed as thoracolumbar spinal cord injury. The animal was treated for the spinal cord injury using Methly prednisolone sodium succinate epidurally within 12 hour interval and Streptopenicillin for 7 days. During the treatment period animal was kept under complete rest for two months. Mild improvement was observed on day 7 and complete recovery from clinical signs was observed on 30th day. Blood biochemical parameters analysed on weekly intervals also confirmed these improvements. |
