Brain and Spinal Cord Inflammation (Polioencephalomyelitis) in Cats

PrintPrint

Treatment

 

Steroid therapy may reduce inflammation and improve clinical signs, at least temporarily.

 

Living and Management

 

There is very little known about this disease. Unfortunately, what is known is that it is a progressive disease with a poor prognosis. Most animals with this disease will need to be euthanized, since the symptoms will only worsen.
