- Abstract
The article deals with a study which examined large-breed dogs with intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). It was observed that more than 10% of all large-breed dogs diagnosed with IVDD on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had upper thoracic lesions. Based on this finding, it is suggested that imaging of all large-breed dogs presenting with thoracolumbar myelopathy should include their upper thoracic spine to rule out IVDD.
