The topographic-anatomical situation of the conus medullaris and the cauda equina in cats is shown: in about two thirds of the cases the conus medullaris at least reaches the level of the first sacral vertebra. As far as the site of the epidural injection is concerned the sacrococcygeal space or the first intercoccygeal space are proposed in order to avoid damage to the spinal cord. When seeking the site of injection it is advantageous to orientate oneself by following the sacral processus spinosi in caudal direction beginning with the lumbosacral space. In case of adipose animals the first intercoccygeal space can be palpated by moving the tail up and down. Both sites are equivalent. The volume to be injected varies between 0.3 and 0.9 ml solution per cat depending on the needs.
在约三分之二的病例中，脊髓圆锥至少到达第一骶椎水平。就硬膜外注射部位而言，建议选择骶尾间隙或第一尾椎间隙，以避免损伤脊髓。在寻找注射部位时，从腰骶间隙开始沿尾侧方向顺着骶棘突定位是有利的。对于肥胖动物，可通过上下移动尾巴来触诊第一尾椎间隙。这两个部位等效。根据需要，每只猫注射的溶液体积在0.3至0.9毫升之间变化。
