An 82-lb (37 kg) 8-year-old MN German Shepherd mix is

normal. BCS is 6/9. Temp 101.2 F and HR 180 bpm. The

urinalysis are WNL. Which of the following is the most
likely cause of episodic weakness in this dog?
A) Decreased cardiac output

Physical examination, the affected calves have swellings
in the carpi, tarsi, and stifles with distension of associated

mandibles and miliary scabs on the ventral and lateral
aspects of the neck. The remainder of the dermis appears
normal. Deep and surface skin scrapings and
dermatophyte culture are negative. Which of the following
is the most appropriate next diagnostic step.
A) Serum Allergy Testing
B) Thyroid function testing
C) Trial of hypoallergenic diet
D) Trial of IM methylprednisolone
E) Trial of intramuscular cyclosporine - Answer-C) Trial of
hypoallergenic diet.
