Though some dogs with hemivertebrae do not develop signs, others develop severe problems which will not improve unless surgical intervention occurs. The numbers affected are not known, but it is considered a common problem in French bulldogs and other brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds that have screw-tails, as the deformity is connected to the screw-tail phenotype (physical shape) which is a breed characteristic.Along with pain, the spinal cord damage in severely affected individuals leads to the need for rapid veterinary treatments including major surgery. Some dogs which are completely paralysed in their hind legs may not recover use of them after surgery.

In severely affected individuals the only hope is major surgery of the spine to attempt stabilisation and to stop the spinal cord being compressed. Jeffery N, Smith P and Talbot C (2007) Imaging findings and surgical treatment of hemivertebrae in three dogs.Hemivertebrae is the cause of kinked or screw tails in some breeds of dog, such as the Boston Terrier and Pug (shown here).

The screw-tail shape is due to abnormal shape of tail bones but this abnormality can also affect other parts of the spine with serious consequences as outlined above. If the problem is severe then the dogs can lose all use of their hind legs and can have urinary and faecal incontinence (inability to control passing urine or faeces). An understanding of the anatomy of the normal spine of the dog is useful in understanding this condition. Hemivertebrae can occur in any breed but are most common in brachycephalic, screw-tailed dogs such as French bulldogs (also English bulldogs, Pugs and Boston terriers).It is thought by some that the smaller specimens of the English Bulldog (see BC-128) were taken aboard ship to France because they could be more easily hidden. Signs include posterior paresis (abnormal functioning of the hindlimbs), muscle wastage, an abnormal shape to the back and back pain. Older French bulldogs may have spinal disease from other causes and detection of hemivertebrae may make diagnosis of the real cause difficult. Unlike the normal shape of vertebrae shown in Figure 2, in which the opposing faces of adjacent vertebrae are at right angles to the line of the spine, wedge shaped vertebrae as shown here can lead to distortion of the spine with health and welfare effects.
