Abstract
A two-year-old Tom-cat was presented to the small animal Clinic of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Nigeria, with a complaint of inability to walk, inability to control urination, inability to defecate, inappetence, and weakness. The problems were noticed about four days after an attack by a newly acquired dog in the house. X-ray of the vertebral column revealed the fracture of the fourth, fifth, and sixth lumbar vertebra. Due to the health deteriorations, neurological signs exhibited by the patient, time taken before presentation to the clinic and expected poor prognosis, euthanasia of the patient was considered.

Key words: Fracture, lumbar vertebrae, dog bite trauma, Euthanasia.
