Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a rare finding in cats compared with dogs. However, when it does occur in cats, it seems to be similar to IVDD in dogs: it carries a good prognosis with treatment if appropriately diagnosed. This case report describes a disc extrusion at L6-7 in an 8 year old domestic short hair cat. Similar neurological signs had been present in this cat 7 years prior to the reported incident following a blunt lumbar trauma. However, the original episode was never definitely diagnosed, and evidence of a chronic disc protrusion was found during surgical decompression of the site. The rareness of IVDD in cats may contribute to its not being considered as a differential diagnosis for myelopathy in cats, and this treatable disease may go undiagnosed.

Cats are not referred to specialists as frequently as dogs, meaning the general practitioner must routinely treat cats that have been involved in road traffic accidents and other musculoskeletal trauma. This book is the first of its kind to provide a practical and user-friendly guide to feline orthopaedics. With a new author team, led by RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Surgery (Orthopaedics) and Veterinary Neurology Harry Scott, the second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. New chapters cover Physiotherapy and Oncology of the Feline Skeletal System. The book includes highly structured fully referenced text that provides a concise, straightforward guide to the recognition and management of specific diseases and conditions. In this new edition, the neurological causes of lameness have been given more in-depth discussion, with an emphasis on early recognition of clinical signs and diagnosis. The disorder sections are now divided into those likely to be associated with trauma (fractures and luxation) and those which are congenital or developmental. The text is supported by high quality radiographs, colour photographs and colour line drawings to illustrate principles, techniques and procedures. Combining their experience in practice and education, the authors have produced a book that appeals to general practice veterinarians, specialist feline practitioners and to students.
