Two young Miniature Dachshunds were presented with abnormal gait. Magnetic resonance imaging showed, hydrocephalus with expanding fourth ventricle, and syringohydromyelia in the cervical spinal cord. These dogs underwent ventricle‐peritoneal shunting, after which hydrocephalus, syringohydromyelia, and their clinical signs, improved.
