Abstract
Introduction: Fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy is a non-progressive injury in the spinal cord that can cause infarction in veins of spinal parenchyma which leads to ischemia and necrosis.
 Case report: Fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy was diagnosed in a 4-year-old, female, Spitz dog using the clinical neurological examination. The dog was hospitalized, and the treatment including supportive treatment and Cortone was set up for three weeks. Then Diazepam and Methocarbamol were added to the prescription and treatment continued for two weeks. A general improvement was noted after three weeks, and the dog could stand perfectly after 5 weeks.
 Conclusion: Three weeks of supportive treatment, Cortone therapy as well as the addition of Diazepam and Methocarbamol to the treatment could help the dog to stand on its feet. However, cannot be ignored that knowing about the history of the dog played an important role in its treatment procedure.
