This cavalier has been diagnosed with moderate grade SM. He has cerebellar herniation, dilated ventricles, and a small syrinx. In this video, he is 2.5 years old and was asymptomatic when diagnosed with SM at age 1.5, with symptoms only becoming apparent around age 2. In this clip you can see a typical scratching session -- this one lasts 30 seconds and was only interrupted because another dog eventually distracts him. Before going on to gabapentin (Neurontin), he had such sessions up to a dozen times daily, each lasting up to two minutes, most often first thing in the morning then late at night, and during the night they may wake him from sleep. Rarely, he will air scratch and bunny hop when on the lead. He is otherwise very active and has no other signs of pain.
