Description
Yuan Campos and co-authors report spine surgery on a toy breed puppy in 2026. The puppy, a young Yorkshire Terrier, had an unstable joint between the top two neck bones. That fault pressed on the spinal cord and left the puppy unable to walk. Mild neck trauma had brought on the crisis.
Scans showed the second neck bone had shifted and squeezed the cord. When rest based care failed, surgeons fixed the joint from below with screws and bone cement. They extended the fix to the third neck bone for added strength. The case shows a workable repair for a frail and tiny patient.
