title: Treatment of cataplexy in a dog with narcolepsy.
abstract: A 1-year-old female Rottweiler with a history of narcolepsy and cataplexy lost weight and became worse when given cholinergic agents and/or prednisolone over a 12-day period. The dog was then treated with imipramine HCl, and has been almost clinically normal for 2 years.
