ABSTRACT

The study was conducted on the clinical cases of neuromuscular disorders in hind quarter in dogs reported at IVRI Polyclinic, Izatnagar (U.P.). The cases of hind quarter weakness were selected from the cases of neuromuscular disorders and classified in to groups I(Animals with hindquarter weakness, which could stand, and had staggering gait and intact pain sensation), II (Animals with hind quarter paresis, which were unable to stand and dragged hind legs while walking with intact pain sensation) and III (Hind quarter paralysis with absence of pain sensation) on the basis of history, clinical signs, radiographic and neurological examination.Various radiographic features were also recorded.
