Sažetak

This paper describes in detail the case of steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) in a dog. The dog was presented at the Clinic for Internal Diseases due to high fever with anorexia that lasted for five days, reluctance to move, hunched stance and stiffness that responded only moderately to antibiotics and a combination of steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs administered by the referring veterinarian. The dog was fully clinically and neurologically examined and revealed fever and extreme neck pain. Complete laboratory workup and urinalysis were included. The dog underwent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling and analysis. The diagnosis of steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis was established. Adequate therapy was instituted which resulted in clinical resolution of the disease.
