    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Health
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Diskospondylitis is a spinal infection affecting horses.
    • Cervical pain is a common clinical sign.

    Observation:

    • Five horses diagnosed with diskospondylitis were admitted to Purdue University Large Animal Clinic over three years.
    • All five horses exhibited signs of cervical pain.

    Findings:

    • Clinical signs and radiography were effective diagnostic tools for diskospondylitis in horses.
    • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis did not reveal abnormalities in affected horses.

    Implications:

    • Early identification of equine diskospondylitis is crucial.
    • Radiography plays a key role in diagnosing spinal infections in horses.
  • Further research may explore cerebrospinal fluid's role in diskospondylitis diagnosis.
