Plain-English summary
A 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier was brought to the vet with various symptoms that suggested a problem with its autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions. Although the signs pointed towards a condition called dysautonomia, the duration and improvement of the symptoms did not fit this diagnosis. The vet monitored the dog's condition, but the exact cause of the symptoms remained unclear.

Abstract
A 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier was presented with an array of clinical signs suggestive of autonomic dysfunction. Many of the clinical signs were consistent with a diagnosis of dysautonomia; however, both chronicity and resolution of signs contradicted a diagnosis of this disease.
