Sagittal CT scan, soft tissue window, of a 13-year-old Bengal tiger affected by cervical spondylomyelopathy. Note the reduction of the C5-C6 intervertebral space, associated with the ventral dislocation of the cranial vertebral end-plate of C6 compared to C5. The presence of medial C5-C6 disc herniation, slightly compressive, and of vertebral spondylosis in C5-C6 and C6-C7 can be observed.

There was also a medial and slightly compressive vertebral spondylosis at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels, severe bilateral shoulder osteoarthritis characterized by severe periosteal reactivity, subchondral sclerosis, and osteolysis of the proximal humerus and bilateral scapula (Figures 1- 3).
