The present study was carried out to determine the accuracy of different tools for detection of the seat of intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation in dogs. Forty-six dogs of different breeds were included in this study. The neurological examination and plain radiography were performed for all dogs. Computed tomography (CT), myelography and CT myelography were performed for 38, 33 and 31 dogs respectively. The results showed that the Miniature Dachshund is the most common breed suffering IVDH (39.13%). C2-3 was the most affected site in the cervical region (13.37%), while L2-3 is considered the highly affected thoracolumbar site (11.4%) followed by T13-L1 and L1-2 (10.23% for each). The accuracy of neurological examination, plain radiography, CT, myelography and CT myelography for determining the site of the lesion was calculated as 54.3, 30.4, 65.8, 84.85 and 100%, respectively. Moreover, the accuracy of CT, myelography and CT myelography for detection of the side of the lesion was 44.74, 54.54 and 93.9% respectively.

A 3 days old native breed male calf was admitted to the veterinary teaching hospital, Assiut university suffered from facial anomalies and flexural deformities in the metacarpophalangeal joints resulting in respiratory snoring and inability of the animal for ambulation. The defects of the limb were only managed surgically by cutting of the superficial and deep flexor tendons then external coapitation of the limbs using splints and gypsum

A case of 1-day-old female calf was admitted to animal surgery clinic at the veterinary teaching hospital (Faculty of Veterinary medicine, Assiut University) with two congenital defects, including Atresia ani and double vagina.The atresia ani was successfully corrected surgically. To the best of author's knowledge this report is the first to describe the combined two malformations in one case.
