The absence of pain perception is a useful negative prognostic indicator in dogs with severe thoracolumbar FCEM or ANNPE

Fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy (FCEM) and acute non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion (ANNPE) are common causes of acute spinal cord injury in dogs. Outcome among paraplegic deep pain positive (DPP) and deep pain negative (DPN) dogs with either condition and factors influencing recovery have not been clearly established. Dogs with thoracolumbar FCEM or ANNPE resulting in paraplegia presenting to university hospitals between 2012 and 2022 were retrospectively included.
