Can the disease recur?

0

In the author’s experience signs may recur in a proportion of dogs after several months/years due to redevelopment of syringomyelia. The newly created ‘space’ from surgery may fill in with scar tissue. If this happens, repeat surgery may be indicated; some owners prefer to continue with medical management e.g. with furosemide, NSAIDs, gabapentin or corticosteroids.
