A 6-year-old castrated male Shih-tzu was presented because of a 1-month history of progressive tetraplegia. On the basis of the findings of neurological examination, radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging, herniated intervertebral disc of C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7 compressed spinal cord. The oxygen-ozone was intra-operatively injected into the C4-C5 and C6-C7 intervertebral disc and a ventral decompression performed at C5-C6 intervertebral space. Immediately after the surgery, neck pain was disappeared and three weeks after surgery, there was complete resolution of the neurological deficits with normal gaits. On magnetic resonance images at 2-month after surgery, herniated disc materials of C5-C6 and C6-C7 were completely removed and that of C4-C5 remarkably reduced. Consequently decompression which was performed at all of the three lesions resulted in good clinical outcome without additional internal fixation for minimizing postoperative instability.
