Dehghani Shahin Hajighahramani Department Veterinary Surgery and Radiology School of Veterinary Medicine University of Shiraz Shiraz 71345- 1731 Iran A dog with a lesion in the left elbow area and presence of purulent materials was referred to hospital history clinical examination laboratory test and radiological evaluation of the dog proved the presence of osteomyelitis. Eosinophilia was evident by haematologic test. Intensive antibiotic anti-inflammatory medication local wound management and restricted physical activity improved osteomelitis condition and reduced eosinophil number. Therefore it seemed that osteomyelitis was the cause of eosinophilia in this dog. Key words dog elbow eosinophilia osteomyelitis Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone marrow and adjacent bone. The process may involve any bone in the body. Although generally it result from infection osteomyelitis may occur following radiation therapy implant corrosion or trauma 5 . Most cases of osteomyelitis in the dog are related to the open reduction of fractures.

Haematogenous osteomyelitis is not associated with trauma or surgery. The source of the organism can be .
