The study was conducted on 12 clinical cases of dogs to compare the effect of two contrast materials iohexol and iopamidol for myelography through cisternal puncture and to study the effect of the contrast materials on different haemato-biochemical parameters. The dogs were randomly divided into two groups, A and B, of 6 animals each. Iohexol (300 mg I/mL) and iopamidol (300 mg I/mL) were administered @ 0.50 mL/kg b.wt in subarachnoid space via cisternal approach under butorphanol-diazepam-thiopental anaesthesia in group A and B, respectively. There was no significant difference in the myelographic quality in group A and group B and both could be used for the routine myelography in dogs.
