Serum creatine kinase activity was markedly increased (median, 3369\u2009U\/L) in most dogs. The most common MRI abnormalities were multifocal intracranial abnormalities (7\/13 dogs) and muscle changes (5\/13 dogs) whereas T2-weighted cerebellar abnormalities (2\/13 dogs) and cerebellar atrophy (1\/13) were less common. Treatment response was complete (resolution to normal) in 8 dogs, incomplete (persistent neurological deficits) in 6 dogs, but there was minimal response in 7 dogs. Thirteen dogs (62%) were alive after 6\u2009months and 12 dogs (57%) alive after 1\u2009year.
