 ====Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)====
-Intervertebral disc disease results from degeneration of the intervertebral disc and is most common in dogs. IVDD can occur in any section of the spine and in any breed of dog, though there are breed and location predilections. IVDD has both external factors like trauma, and genetic factors. The primary genetic predilections are between Chondrodystrophic Breeds and Non-chondrodystrophic Breeds.

The primary genetic predilections are between Chondrodystrophic Breeds and Non-chondrodystrophic Breeds. Herniation may refer to any displacement of the intervertebral disc or its components toward the spinal cord; protrusion refers to displacement of the annulus and extrusion refers to the ejection of nucleus pulposus material toward the spinal cord.

 Chondrodystrophic breeds have strong genetic predispositions toward degeneration of the nucleus pulposus, which can become calcified and dehydrated at a young age, around 1-3 years old. These breeds are more prone to acute disc herniations and tend present more acutely.
