*Often in bulls and dogs, occurs also in horses, cats and pigs
 
*[[Musculoskeletal Terminology - Pathology|Osteophyte]] formation on ventral aspect of vertebrae
 
**Often around lumbar region
 
**Adjacent to intervertebral spaces
 
**Varies in size - small spurs -> 'bridges' between vertebrae
 
**May extend over few vertebrae
 
*Pathogenesis:
 
**Repeated abnormal movement between joints -> stress
 
** -> Degeneration of [[Joints - Anatomy & Physiology#Fibrocartilagenous joints|''annulus fibrosis'']]
 
** -> [[Musculoskeletal Terminology - Pathology|Osteophyte]] formation
 
*In dogs usually no symptoms
 
*In bulls may cause inability to mount
 
*In severe cases repeated damage may progress to recurrent posterior weakness and ataxia in conjuction with fractures of spondylitic and vertebral bone

===Cranial cruciate ligament rupture===
 
 
 
*Autoantibodies against collagens seen in the joint fluid – no relationship to the disease (ie: not an autoimmune disease) – can be seen in any joint disease

===Steroid arthropathy===
 
 
 
*From glucocorticoids injected into joint as antiinflammatories
 
*Injection sometimes causes rapid progression of degeneration
 
*Glucocortyicois suppress anabolic effect of chondrocytes -> reduction of cartilage matrix syhthesis -> proteoglycan depletion -> slower repair
