Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical course and successful management of a dog with crush syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, myoglobinuria, and associated acute kidney injury (AKI).
CASE SUMMARY
An 8-year-old female, neutered, mixed-breed dog was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital due to crush injury and suspected AKI. 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.

This is the first report of a dog with crush syndrome with secondary myoglobinuria and AKI.
