Abstract: The article reports on the result of the study which assesses the effectiveness of ciclosporin in improving the survival time of dogs with granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis (GME). The study was conducted to dogs administered with ciclosporin, while, another group was given corticosteroids and combination of both drugs. It was found that ciclosporin showed enhanced performance in treating the disease and was well tolerated compared to corticosteroids.
