1 Two radiographic views of the left elbow of a 33 kg, 6-month-old male Dogue De Bordeaux that had bilateral forelimb lameness are shown ( 1a, b ). On physical examination there was a palpable effusion of the dog’s left elbow, while pain was elicited on extension of both elbows.

What is the diagnosis?

Describe the two radio-graphic views shown and discuss the value of these two views relative to establishing a diagnosis of the condition affecting this dog.
