Nine dogs with Chiari malformation and syringomyelia, which were subjected to low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MR1) test, were described. The results of MRI examinations were presented. The outcomes of pharmacological therapy involving two dogs and surgical treatment of one dog were also described. The applied treatments produced positive short-term outcomes, and they eliminated the clinical symptoms of the disease.
