Abstract
In a retrospective study of hydrocephalus (of congenital origin) diagnosed in 564 dogs, 11 breeds (including 8 "toy" breeds) were identified as being a significantly high risk. An inverse relationship between risk and body size was detected. The smaller the dam at maturity, either in height at the shoulder or body weight, the greater the risk of hydrocephalus in the offspring.Entities:
