What is Cervical Ventral Slot Decompression about?

Cervical IVD Syndrome History Patients with cervical IVD protrusions often present with a history of sudden crying out in pain, neck guarding, and muscle fasciculations about the head and neck. The signs may occur spontaneously or in response to exercise or may be apparent when the animal is petted about the head. The history may include a decrease in activity, since any sudden movement elicits excruciating pain, or it may indicate intermittent episodes with varying degrees of pain. Others are presented with variable signs of severe tetraparesis, either ambulatory or non-ambulatory, from an acute disk extrusion .Cervical IVD protrusion is most common in the chondrodystrophic breeds. Non-chondrodystrophic breeds can also be affected with the cervical vertebral instability ("wobbler") syndrome appear to have a higher incidence of cervical IVD protrusions than other non-chondrodystrophic breeds (Figure .1).
