The use of chemical or gas restraint was unnecessary in most large breed dogs being evaluated radiographically for hip dysplasia. Of 100 large-breed dogs, 97 were successfully radiographed for hip dysplasia evaluation without the use of sedation or anesthesia.

A series of radiographs are presented to illustrate the relevant anatomy and radiology of infections of the digital region. The typical reaction to infection of bones, joints, and other soft tissues are described as they relate specifically to cattle.
Infections, primarily of the limbs, are a significant part of our bovine lameness practice here at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. The majority of these infections relate to the foot. More proximal lesions do occur, however, as detailed in the preceding section. It is interesting to note that such lesions are not assessed radiographically in practice until such time as antibiotics are judged to be ineffective. This period of medical treatment is often lengthy and expensive. The efficacy of potential, as well as ongoing, treatment often is better determined after a clinical and radiologic assessment of the animal. Indeed, radiology can be a paying proposition for both the producer and the practitioner, to say nothing of its obvious benefits to the animal.
Restraint of a mature Moufflon sheep resulted in severe fracture and luxation of a previously osteoarthritic tibiotarsal joint. Arthrodesis was accomplished by means of internal pin fixation and an external fiberglass cast. After 3 months of hospitalization, the ram was returned to the original flock. Competition for dominance within the flock resulted in physical trauma to the ram. Seven months after surgery, the ram sustained a fractured ulna and died from exposure.
