Document: The following day, 46 h after the initial presentation of the clinical signs, the cat showed peracute deterioration. The cat's responsiveness suddenly declined, and the cat was found unconscious in lateral recumbency with bilateral mydriasis, absent pupillary light reflexes (PLRs) and respiratory arrest. Prompt tracheal intubation, 100% oxygen administration with manual ventilation, initial hyperventilation, IV administration of 0.3 mg/kg dexamethasone disodium phosphate (Colvasone 2 mg/ml; Norbrook Laboratories) and 1 g/kg mannitol 10% solution (Polyfusor; Fresenius Kabi) improved the neurological status of the cat. However, mentation remained severely depressed, whereas the pupil size and PLR improved 20 mins after mannitol administration.
