This study was undertaken to establish a protocol for myelography in the neonatal bovine calf. Five normal calves, one to five days old, were examined radiographically by myelography, using techniques recommended for the equine and canine. The contrast medium used was lopamidol, which was introduced through the foramen magnum under general anesthesia. When the protocol was established, several neonatal calves with partial or complete pareses were examined myelographically. Myelography revealed changes in the spinal canal and assisted in a definite diagnosis. No harmful effects were observed in the normal or abnormal calves during or after myelography. It was concluded that myelography is a valuable safe procedure for diagnosis of causes of paresis in neonatal calves.
