A total of twelve large breed dogs were selected for the study. Six large breed dogs without any neurological signs were subjected to the normal morphometric study and the six dogs with neurological signs and suspected for thoraco-lumbar spinal diseases were subjected to computed tomographic scanning for identification of the spinal lesions and morphometric changes by Computed tomography (CT). Detailed gait evaluation, neurological examination were performed to localise the spinal lesion on the particular spinal cord segment and graded. Radiography of thoracic and lumbar spine were taken in orthogonal views to find out the bony lesions.
