4 year old English Bulldog

Findings

The structures of the thorax appear normal for the age and breed. However, multiple lytic areas are visible in the dorsal spinous processes on the lateral radiographs. These were confirmed on spine technique radiographs, where they are also seen to involve the vertebral bodies, scapula, pelvis and skull. The survey was expanded to include the forelimbs and hindlimbs. The long bones also have areas of lysis with a short transition zone. Several lesions are surrounded by rims of sclerotic bone.
