    Cranial thoracic diskospondylitis in dogs can be successfully treated with surgical curettage and antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus was identified as the causative agent in both diagnosed cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Comparative Pathology
    • Canine Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Diskospondylitis is a common spinal infection in dogs.
    • Cranial thoracic diskospondylitis presents unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.

    Observation:

    • Two dogs presented with clinical signs of cranial thoracic diskospondylitis.
    • Staphylococcus aureus was identified as the causative pathogen in vertebral lesions, urine, and blood samples.

    Findings:

    • Surgical curettage of the affected intervertebral disk and adjacent vertebrae was performed via thoracotomy.
    • Both dogs received antibiotic therapy post-operatively.
    • Complete recovery was achieved in both cases following surgical intervention and treatment.

    Implications:

    • Surgical curettage combined with targeted antibiotic therapy is an effective treatment for cranial thoracic diskospondylitis.
    • This approach offers a viable solution for severe spinal infections in dogs.
    • Further research into Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis in diskospondylitis is warranted.
