Blood tests and urinalysis showed markedly increased serum creatine kinase activity, myoglobinuria, and AKI. The dog was managed successfully with intermittent hemodialysis, and completely recovered. NEW OR UNIQUE INFORMATION PROVIDED: This is the first report of a dog with crush syndrome with secondary myoglobinuria and AKI.
