A retrospective study was undertaken to provide information about diskospondylitis in the dog. This disease has not been well recognized and documented in the veterinary literature. Diskospondylitic lesions were confirmed radiographically in 27 dogs (20 males and 7 females). Pain, inappetence, and recurring fever were the prominent signs in animals that had failed to respond to short-term therapy by referring clinicians. Clinical pathology did not yield consistently diagnostic results. Radiography, which was regarded as essential, revealed typical involvement of adjacent vertebral bodies, their end plates, and the joint space represented by their intervertebral disks. Diskospondylitis occurred as multiple and solitary lesions; it was also associated with myelopathy.
进行了一项回顾性研究，以提供有关犬椎间盘炎的信息。这种疾病在兽医文献中尚未得到充分认识和记录。通过X光检查确诊了27只犬（20只雄性和7只雌性）患有椎间盘炎病变。转诊临床医生对动物进行短期治疗无效，疼痛、食欲不振和反复发热是这些动物的主要症状。临床病理学检查结果并不一致。X光检查被认为是必不可少的，它显示相邻椎体、终板以及由椎间盘代表的关节间隙有典型受累情况。椎间盘炎表现为多发和单发损伤；它还与脊髓病有关。
