Dorsal laminectomy was used to treat 30 dogs with cervical intervertebral disk disease. A variety of breeds were represented, and all animals weighted 15 kg or less. Myelography was utilized to locate each solitary disk herniation. All 30 cases progressed to complete recovery which indicates that dorsal laminectomy may be performed with success in small dogs with intervertebral disk disease.
