  • Title: Imaging diagnosis--discospondylitis and septic arthritis in a dog.
    Author: Stern L, McCarthy R, King R, Hunt K.
    Journal: Vet Radiol Ultrasound; 2007; 48(4):335-7. PubMed ID: 17691633.
    Abstract:
    A 6-year-old German Shepherd dog was evaluated for hind limb lameness. When a diagnosis, could not be achieved using radiography and ultrasonography, bone scintigraphy was performed to look for occult lameness or the presence of multiostic disease. Bone scintigraphy was useful in identification of increased radiopharmaceutical uptake in the thoracic spine and right coxofemoral joint, which directed further testing leading to the diagnosis of discospondylitis, septic arthritis of the coxofemoral joint, and a urinary tract infection.
