The secondary objective was to document behavioural changes associated with spondylosis by owner observation.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed to determine the prevalence of feline spondylosis (group 1). A prospective study was performed to determine the association between radiographic abnormalities of the lumbosacral region (L3-S1) and owner perceived behavioural changes based on a completed questionnaire (group 2). The radiographs were reviewed using a grading system (0\u20133) for spondylosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: The prevalence of spondylosis in group 1 was 39.4% (158\/402). Cats with spondylosis were significantly older than cats without spondylosis (p &lt;0.001). The thoracic (T) vertebrae T4-T10 were most often affected by spondylosis, but spondylosis was most severe in the T10-S1 vertebrae. In group 2, spondylosis of the lumbosacral region was significantly correlated with owner-reported behavioural changes, such as a decreased willingness to greet people and to being petted, increased aggressiveness, and a poor perceived quality of life (p = 0.037).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Clinical significance: This study found that feline spondylosis is common and that spondylosis of the lumbosacral region may be accompanied by behavioural changes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3415\/vcot-11-06-0092","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,27]],"date-time":"2012-02-27T10:30:13Z","timestamp":1330338613000},"page":"217-223","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Prevalence of spondylosis deformans in the feline spine and correlation with owner-perceived behavioural changes"],"prefix":"10.3415","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"B.
