Plain-English summary
A dog experienced seizures after being exposed to isoniazid, a medication typically used for treating tuberculosis in humans. This led to muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) and acute kidney failure. While these complications are rare in dogs, they can occur following seizures. The dog required veterinary care to manage the seizures and support kidney function.

Abstract
Isoniazid-induced seizures resulted in rhabdomyolysis and associated acute renal tubular necrosis in a dog. Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric renal failure, although recognised in the dog, are reported infrequently as a consequence of seizures. The clinical presentation of isoniazid toxicity in a dog is described.
