Intermittent Pain Scratching in a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

摘要

According to the owners, Lucy had a 2- to 3-year history of intermittent episodes of vocalization and reluctance to be touched around the head and neck. In addition, the dog frequently attempted to scratch her head, neck, muzzle, and ears, although rarely did the paws come into contact with the skin surface. During the past year, the dog had progressive difficulty using her pelvic limbs on slippery surfaces. The owners also suspected some hearing loss.
