Relative to body size, midsagittal and interpedicular diameters of the cranial and caudal aspects of cervical vertebral foramina (C3-C7) were found to be significantly (P < 0.05) larger in small breeds than in large breeds and Dachshunds, and also larger in Dachshunds (P < 0.05) than in large breeds. This condition increases the risk for spinal cord compression resulting from relative stenosis of the cervical...
