Muscle cramps in two standard poodles with hypoadrenocorticism

Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association, 38(5), 437–443.

By: M. Saito n, N. Olby n , L. Obledo n & J. Gookin n 

MeSH headings : Adrenal Insufficiency / complications; Adrenal Insufficiency / drug therapy; Adrenal Insufficiency / veterinary; Animals; Desoxycorticosterone / analogs & derivatives; Desoxycorticosterone / therapeutic use; Dog Diseases / drug therapy; Dogs; Extremities; Female; Male; Muscle Cramp / complications; Muscle Cramp / drug therapy; Muscle Cramp / veterinary
TL;DR: It is concluded that hypoadrenocorticism can be associated with episodes of painful muscle cramps in standard poodles and altering treatment to desoxycorticosterone pivalate resolved the electrolyte abnormalities and the episodes of muscle cramping in both dogs. (via Semantic Scholar)

Identification of arachnoid cysts in the quadrigeminal cistern using ultrasonography

VETERINARY RADIOLOGY & ULTRASOUND, 42(5), 435–439.
