There are a number of congenital disorders of the brain and cervical spine encountered in dogs which arc amenable to surgical treatment. Recognition of these abnormalities has increased in recent years due to increased availability of MR imaging in our profession. Whereas surgical treatment options ...
A minimally invasive method for the stimulation of the spinal cord in dogs was developed. Electrical stimuli were delivered to the spine at the T8 vertebral level through partially insulated needles and under ketamine anesthesia. This allowed the recording of reproducible responses in hind limb muscle...
Individual vertebral bone size and shape vary among breeds. For any one breed, canine cervical throughlumbarvertebrae are fairly consistent in size. The consistent size indogsreflects the relatively equivalent cranial-to-caudal compressive loading. Because dogs are quadruped, there is weight bearing on...
Fractures are commonly classified in six groups depending (in order of frequency) on the forces that have acted on the cervical spine: compressive flexion, distractive flexion, compressive extension, vertical compression, distractive extension and lateral flexion.13 Neurological problems most often occur ...
Training is designed to in-crease strength, endurance, and agility and is sport-specific. Sporting dogs are susceptible to specific musculoskeletal injuries. The rehabilitation of sporting dogs after these injuries follows specific principles during the acute, subacute, and reconditioning periods.José M...
This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of subcutaneous poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) block for the immobilization of experimentally induced lumbar spinal instability in 8 dogs. The results of the study demonstrated that there were no abnormalities in the configuration of the vertebral ...

DOGSSPINAL implantsRANGE of motion of jointsCOMPUTED tomographyBackground: Sufficient surgical resection is necessary for effective tumor control, but is usually limited for vertebral tumors, especially in the cervical spine in small animal neurosurgery. Objective: To evaluate the primary stabili...
MRI findings in intervertebral disc disease on thoracolumbar spine in dogsAlthough it was believed that the mind is an "exclusive ability" of human beings, many animals possess excellent perceptual and cognitive skills that sometimes surpass those of humans. For example, sensory abilities such as ...
