Medical records were reviewed for clinical findings, comorbidities, treatments, and outcomes. The primary outcome was survival to discharge.

Comorbidities were documented in 35 of 42 (83.3%), most commonly protein-losing nephropathy (21 of 42 [50.0%]). All thoracic limb cases were ambulatory at presentation but were euthanized shortly after diagnosis at the owner\u2019s discretion. Among pelvic limb cases, 22 of 38 (57.9%) were ambulatory at presentation, 27 of 38 (71.1%) retained nociception, and 15 of 38 (39.5%) had onset of clinical signs &gt; 24 hours. Nineteen of 38 (50.0%) survived to discharge. Among dogs with long-term outcome available, 7 of 28 (25.0%) fully recovered, including 2 of 16 (12.5%) initially nonambulatory dogs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In dogs with pelvic limb INM, ambulatory status, presence of nociception, and more gradual progression to maximal clinical severity were associated with survival to discharge.
