Radiographic Evaluation Of Normal Norberg Angles And Physical Indices In The Nigerian Indigenous Dog: A Preliminary Study:- Nwachukwu, Ebubechukwu S

ABSTRACT Abdominal radiography is useful in the evaluation of pelvic fractures, luxations and other parameters were also measured of each dog for the determination of body build indices. Results obtained were expressed as mean standard error of means as follows; right Norberg angle was 112° and 105° for the left Norberg angle, Body Mass Index was 56.47 2.69 and female Body Mass Index was 53.21 4.96, male Ponderal Index 147.18 4.86 while female Ponderal Index 1.41. Results ofthis work can be easily applied in clinical diagnosis x pathologies. In the present study, an abdominal ventrodorsal radiograph was obtained of each of six Nigerian Indigenous Dogs for the evaluation of normal Norberg angle. Some physical was 140.15 18.09, male Pignet Index was 75.73 0.89 while femal
