Abstract

In a retrospective study (1995-2005), evaluating 774 X-ray orders of the Images Diagnosis
sector in UNESP- Botucatu Veterinary Hospital, with the aim of making a diagnostic of the
main radiographic vertebral column abnormalities of dogs. Among this 774 cases, we found
1047 abnormalities and made a detailed study of them. The authors describe epidemiological
