Abstract
Two Great Dane puppies developed cervical discospondylitis following routine surgery for sterilization. One animal was affected at C4-C5 and the other at C6-C7 intervertebral discs. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was obtained in pure culture from ultrasound-guided disc aspiration in 1 case. Both animals were successfully treated with long-term antibiotics.
