Have you ever heard of a rib going out? Or, someone saying they popped a rib out?
This painful and sometimes chronic condition can happen not only in humans but in dogs as well.
A dog's ribs attach from the sternum and costal cartilage in the front and wrap around to the spine in the back. These spinal joints are called the costovertebral joints and are the site of pain.
When a dog "pops a rib out" they are actually suffering from costovertebral syndrome. This can be an acute injury that can be extremely painful and lead to lameless in the dog, or it can become a low-grade chronic issue that may have subtle signs and symptoms.
