“…Nonetheless, a single study comparing thoracolumbar Hansen type I IVDH in FB and Dachshunds showed that FBs were younger at the time of surgery [28], even if the number of FBs was limited in this report ( n = 47). Similarly, studies addressing cervical IVDH revealed a median age ranging between 6 and 8 years old in chondrodystrophic dogs [25, 26, 31]. One hypothesis for this difference could be the fact that intervertebral disk degeneration occurs faster in FB than in other chondrodystrophic breeds.…”

Prevalence of neurological disorders in French bulldog: a retrospective study of 343 cases (2002–2016)

BackgroundFrench Bulldog (FB) has significantly gained in popularity over the last few years, and seems to be frequently affected by various neurological conditions. The purpose of this retrospective study was to report the prevalences of neurological diseases in a large population of FB, presented with neurological signs between 2002 and 2016, and for which a definitive diagnosis was established. A secondary objective was to identify epidemiological characteristics regarding specific diseases in this singular breed.ResultsDuring the study period, 533 FBs were presented for neurological signs, representing 18.7% of all admitted FBs (N = 2846). In total, 343 FBs with definitive diagnosis were included in this descriptive epidemiological study. Hansen type I intervertebral disk herniation (IVDH) was by far the most common neurological disorder (45.5% of all cases). The IVDH location was cervical in 39.8%, and thoracolumbar in 60.2% of cases. The median ages for cervical and thoracolumbar IVDH were 4.2 and 4 years, respectively. C3-C4 was the most commonly affected disk (57.8% of cervical IDVH) all locations combined. Spinal arachnoid diverticulum (SAD) was detected in 25 FBs, representing the second most common myelopathy (11.3%). A concurrent spinal abnormality was identified in 64.0% of SAD cases. Brain tumours represented 36.8% of encephalopathies, with glioma (confirmed or suspected) being the most common. Meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) represented 25.0% of brain disorders, females less than 5.5 years being more likely to be affected. Aside from central nervous system conditions, otitis interna associated with peripheral vestibular signs and bilateral congenital deafness (associated with white coat) were also common.ConclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that FB seems to be prone to several neurological diseases. IVDH is clearly predominant in FB and cervical location seems more represented than in other breeds. FBs affected by IVDH tend to be younger than previously described, either for both cervical and thoracolumbar locations. Thoracic SAD was the second most common myelopathy, with a concurrent spinal anomaly identified in two thirds of the cases. MUO was more likely to affect young to middle-aged females. These findings could be of interest for owners, breeders, practicing veterinarians and insurance companies.

“…In dogs with cervical IVDH a similar occurrence of neurogenic hypoventilation was recently found to affect 2 of 35 tetraplegic cases. 55 In one report on acute cervical hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion between C3 and C6, 3 of 10 dogs developed respiratory dysfunction and 1 subsequently died. 56 …”

“…It allows a reduction in the inflammatory cascade and promotes the granulation tissue formation and epithelialization and may be applied to human medicine since the incidence of postsurgical infections is 1 to 2.4% (Cross, 2014;Medina, 2013;Newark, 2012; Kirkby K. , 2014; Rossmeisl, White, et al, 2013).…”

This article intends to be based on the similarities between the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the quadrupedal animal and bipedal human. Through this standard explain the locomotor training of functional neurorehabilitation to both. And also demonstrate the importance of bipedal locomotor training and quadrupedal locomotor training, making the conversion of the quadrupedal locomotor training of the quadruped animal to human biped, and also demonstrate the importance of electromyostimulation and laser therapy. In the article we conclude that the functional neurorehabilitation (FNR) should be applied as soon as possible within the limitation of spinal diseases, stroke or Parkinson's disease, repeatedly and progressively involving the three types of training proprioceptive, fortification and resistance to obtain an improved mobility. With our article we also considered that more robotic locomotor training should be applied in both areas of medicine, both human and animal, looking as an evidence model the dog and cat.
