Evaluation of diaphragmatic dysfunction in dogs with cervical spinal disorders before and after surgery using fluoroscopy, M-mode ultrasound and radiography
Respiratory complications in dogs with cervical myelopathies can be life-threatening and are attributed to spinal cord morbidity secondary to cervical disease or decompressive surgery causing diaphragmatic dysfunction. However, diaphragmatic dysfunction in these dogs has not been described. Thirty-f...

Diaphragmatic dysfunction was observed more frequently in dogs with cervical disease prior to surgery (8/21 dogs, 38.1%) compared to control dogs (3/14 dogs, 21.4%) but was not statistically significant (odds ratio, 2.3; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-10.6; P = 0.30).
