摘要: The association between the occurrence of a lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LTV) and cauda equina syndrome (CES) in dogs was investigated. In 4000 control without signs CES, 3.5% had an LTV, while 92 with 16.3% LTV. lesion causing CES always occurred last true lumbar Dogs LTV were eight times more likely to develop than German Shepherd compared other breeds. Male twice as females. 1-2 years earlier
