Abstract

Immune mediated musculoskeletal diseases are important diseases of dogs which occur due to failure of immunoregulation or to an abnormal immune response. As clinical signs of these disorders overlap with numerous other syndromes of musculoskeletal system, the confirmative diagnosis is difficult. Glucocorticoids are the basis of therapy with adjunct therapy of cytotoxic drugs, chrysotherapy which require continuous monitoring of patient. Generally there is no curative treatment in most of the disorders due to recurrence of disease after withdrawal of treatment.
