Selected aspects pertaining to the cause and pathogenesis of diskospondylitis were investigated in a kennel of 45 Airedale Terriers. Diskospondylitis was detected via spinal radiography in 17 male and 14 female dogs. Bacteria isolated from the coat, vagina, and urine of affected Airedales were not statistically different from those isolated from clinically normal Airedales. Serologic evidence of Brucella canis infection was not detected. There was no difference in response to thyrotropin stimulation tests between affected and clinically normal dogs. Necropsy findings in affected dogs included hypercellular renal glomeruli and pulmonary arterial thrombi.
在一个有45只艾尔谷梗犬的犬舍中，对与椎间盘炎病因和发病机制相关的选定方面进行了调查。通过脊柱X线摄影在17只雄性和14只雌性犬中检测到椎间盘炎。从受影响的艾尔谷梗犬的被毛、阴道和尿液中分离出的细菌与从临床正常的艾尔谷梗犬中分离出的细菌在统计学上没有差异。未检测到犬布鲁氏菌感染的血清学证据。受影响的犬与临床正常的犬在促甲状腺激素刺激试验中的反应没有差异。受影响犬的尸检结果包括肾小球细胞增多和肺动脉血栓形成。
