Q

What is the most frequent cause of muscles cramp in dogs?

A

Hypocalcemia secondary to hypoparathyroidism

The cause of MCs was hypocalcemia in 11/14 (79%) dogs: 9 dogs were affected by primary hypoparathyrodism, 1 dog by intestinal lymphoma and 1 dog by protein losing enteropathy.
In 3/14 cases (21%) the cause was not identified, and all 3 dogs were German Shepherds.

Q

What are the 3 patterns of muscles cramp in dogs?

A

Pattern I = migrating pattern: sudden onset of stiffness and abduction of 1 thoracic limb, failure to bear the weight lasting few seconds, followed by a sustained muscular contraction with flexion of 1 pelvic limb and fall in lateral recumbency

Pattern II = pelvic limbs pattern: prolonged muscular contraction and flexion of the pelvic limbs. When these dogs were forced to continue physical activity, MCs migrated between the pelvic limbs, without involvement of thoracic limbs

Pattern III =single-limb pattern: abrupt contraction and flexion of the single limb, without any migration toward other limbs

histopathological feature of polymyositis
Histopathological findings in PM consist of a multifocal, mixed predominantly **mononuclear cell** infiltration of varying severity depending on the sampled muscles and stage of the disease.

CD8+ lymphocytes are distributed along the **endomysium** surrounding necrotic myocytes and invading viable muscle fibres. In contrast, in **MMM, CD4+ T-cells and B-cells are more commonly reported distribution is concentrated along the perimysium and perivascularly**
