Clinical approach and lesion localization in patients with spinal diseases
Abstract
Back or neck pain, reluctance to move or climb stairs, inability to walk, and abnormal gait or incoordination are frequent complaints associated with vertebral/spinal disease in dogs and cats. This article discusses the clinical approach and principles behind lesion localization in diseases affecting the vertebral column and its content (ie, the spinal cord and the cauda equina).
