Chiari-like malformation (CM) the most common cause of foramen magnum obstruction and syringomyelia in dogs.

The dog then causes further trauma to the skin by itching and rubbing at the area, leading to a secondary bacterial infection." Symptoms: A patch of moist, inflamed skin that might have an odor ...
The average distance between the opening of the stylomastoid foramen and the styloid process is around 0.7 mm or 0.8 mm in adults, but may decrease to around 0.2 mm during aging. [1] The stylomastoid foramen transmits the facial nerve, [2] [3] and the stylomastoid artery. [3] These 2 structures lie directly next to each other. [3]
The occipital condyles are undersurface protuberances of the occipital bone in vertebrates, which function in articulation with the superior facets of the atlas vertebra.. The condyles are oval or reniform (kidney-shaped) in shape, and their anterior extremities, directed forward and medialward, are closer together than their posterior, and encroach on the basilar portion of the bone; the ...

Very rarely, they are found in internal organs such as the small intestine, [5] the mucosa of the mouth, [6] the nasal mucosa [7] or the conjunctiva. [8] About 20% of all skin tumors [9] and 6% of all tumors [10] in dogs are mastocytomas.
1. Ketogenic Diet. Cancer cells rely on glucose for energy to grow. The ketogenic diet is a way to provide an alternative energy source to normal cells in the dog's body while starving the cancer ...
The inner surface of the mastoid portion presents a deep, curved groove, the sigmoid sulcus, which lodges part of the transverse sinus; in it may be seen in the opening of the mastoid foramen. The groove for the transverse sinus is separated from the innermost of the mastoid cells by a very thin lamina of bone, and even this may be partly ...
The cochlear and vestibular branches of cranial nerve VIII separate according to this schema and terminate in the inner ear. The facial nerve continues traveling through the facial canal, eventually exiting the skull at the stylomastoid foramen. A common mnemonic to remember the anterior quadrants of the inner ear is: "seven up, coke down ...
