Posterior paresis of increasing severity was observed in two dogs, a female crossbred Terrier (9 months old) and a male Poodle (5 years old). Radio‐graphic examination revealed that in both dogs paresis was due to atlanto‐axial subluxation resulting from a congenital separation of the odontoid process. Necropsy and histopathological studies confirmed these findings.
