Q

Where can you obtain a CSF sample in ruminants? What considerations are there for each site?

A
  • Atlanto-occipital space - must be under GA because any movement will result in death☠️
  • Lumbosacral space between L6 and L7 - can be done standing or if recumbent, place in sternal with hindlimbs forward under animal
