Case Report

Katherine Snyder, DVM, Ashley B. Saunders, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Cardiology), Jonathan M. Levine, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Neurology) and Fred J. Clubb, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACLAM

From the Departments of Small Animal Clinical Sciences (Snyder, Saunders, Levine) and Veterinary Pathobiology (Clubb), College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-4474.

A 10-month-old dog was presented with clinical signs of fever, lethargy, inappetence, and cardiac arrhythmias. Computed tomography scan and cerebrospinal fluid analysis supported the diagnosis of steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis. Echocardiography, electrocardiogram, and elevated serum troponin I supported a diagnosis of myocarditis. The arrhythmias resolved during treatment of the primary neurological disease, and they were considered as secondary to the meningitis.
