The present case report aims to describe the occurrence of a late neurological condition, after traumatic brain injury in a canine patient, treated at a private veterinary clinic. The animal was clinically evaluated, with severe neurological alterations of vestibular ataxia, compulsive gait, paresis, loss of proprioception in all four limbs, bilateral miosis, anisocoria, among others. Diagnosis was presumptive, aided by MRI, and based on detailed history. Clinical treatment was empirically determined, based on commercial dexamethasone, associated with methionine, nicotinamide and pyridoxine. The patient showed rapid clinical improvement, with no neurological picture.
