Case histories of 105 dogs that were treated for cervical intervertebral disk disease (IVDD) were studied retrospectively. To compare with previous data, dogs were grouped by age, gender, and breed. Dogs were also grouped by clinical signs of disease, and by presence and location of radiologic change. The age range of cases of cervical IVDD was 1 to 13 years (mean, 6.3 years). Fifty-nine percent of dogs treated for cervical IVDD were females, but the proportion of diseased females was similar to females in total hospital admissions. Twenty-eight breeds of dogs were treated for cervical IVDD. Dachshunds and Beagles were significantly over represented (P less than or equal to 0.001). However, gender-breed interaction was not observed. Prevalence of radiologic evidence of disk disease was detected at the following levels of the vertebral column: C2-3, 29%; C3-4, 24%; C4-5, 21%; C5-6, 15%; C6-7, 9%; and C7-T1, 2%. Significant difference was not observed in prevalence of cervical IVDD affecting the first 4 disk spaces. However, prevalence of cervical IVDD at C7-T1 was significantly less than that involving the first 4 disk spaces (P less than 0.02), and the space at C6-7 was significantly less affected than were the first 3 spaces (P less than 0.08). Significant association was not evident between clinical signs (pain and neurologic deficits) and radiologic signs of IVDD, although neurologic deficits were more likely to be observed in association with radiologic signs than with signs of pain.
对105例接受颈椎间盘疾病（IVDD）治疗的犬只病历进行了回顾性研究。为了与之前的数据进行比较，根据年龄、性别和品种对犬只进行分组。犬只还根据疾病的临床症状以及放射学改变的存在情况和位置进行分组。颈椎IVDD病例的年龄范围为1至13岁（平均6.3岁）。接受颈椎IVDD治疗的犬只中59%为雌性，但患病雌性的比例与医院总入院雌性比例相似。有28个品种的犬只接受了颈椎IVDD治疗。腊肠犬和比格犬的占比显著过高（P≤0.001）。然而，未观察到性别-品种交互作用。在以下脊柱节段检测到椎间盘疾病的放射学证据患病率：C2-3，29%；C3-4，24%；C4-5，21%；C5-6，15%；C6-7，9%；C7-T1，2%。影响前4个椎间盘间隙的颈椎IVDD患病率未观察到显著差异。然而，C7-T1节段的颈椎IVDD患病率显著低于涉及前4个椎间盘间隙的患病率（P<0.02），C6-7节段受影响程度显著低于前3个节段（P<0.08）。尽管与疼痛体征相比，神经功能缺损更可能与放射学体征相关，但临床体征（疼痛和神经功能缺损）与IVDD的放射学体征之间未发现明显关联。
