The kinky tail

Description

Rods errors in almost all races on. Here are congenital and acquired

Changes in the tail distinguished. Many of them lead to a change in the rod axis.

Such rods are also known as kinky tail.

BLOCK EDDY

Two or more successive vertebrae are completely or partially

intergrown.Possible causes: Segmentation fault in the Urwirbelsäule

or the segment shift to form the final vortex.

Hemivertebrae

(Wedge vertebra) in a certain development stage is the investment of

Vertebral body of a right and a left half. In the further development can

the ossification of these halves absent or just incomplete.

The cartilaginous half is less stable. There is a Achsenknickung the

Spine and a wedge-shaped deformation of the other half. We speak

here of lateral hemivertebrae (wedge vertebra). But which may also arise

if the segment shift to form the final vortex in the right

and left half of the spinal column is not uniform. The above-described

Vertebral halves have both an upper and a lower Verknöcherungskern.

Connect the already described disorders of ossification on, it can be used to

of upper and lower vertebrae are half that also wedge-shaped

can be transformed.

MIXED SHAPES

It can be various combinations of

Vertebral malformations occur.The result is then on the radiograph

ambiguous form of development to assign a specific disorder.

Especially these forms may have problems differentiating the acquired

Vertebral changes prepare.

Medically speaking, is not sure the kinky tail in the foreground of the

Consideration of genetic changes in the dog. There must be any

Breed breed club to decide the importance he attaches to this issue.

No association between the occurrence of congenital vertebral changes

Rod and diseases of the spine remaining determined to be the.
