Magnetic resonance imaging was the most commonly used diagnostic modality. Surgery was infrequently recommended for first\u2010presentation cervical pain without neurological deficits, but was commonly recommended for recurrent or refractory pain, ambulatory tetraparesis and non\u2010ambulatory tetraparesis or tetraplegia, with increasing urgency reported for more severe neurological dysfunction and the presence of hypoventilation. Ventral slot decompression was the predominant surgical approach. Fenestration practices varied, with prophylactic fenestration reported more frequently by American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine neurologists. Compared with European College of Veterinary Neurology neurologists, American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine neurologists reported more frequent use of corticosteroids and strict crate confinement, whereas European College of Veterinary Neurology neurologists more commonly reported use of non\u2010steroidal anti\u2010inflammatory drugs and opioid\u2010based local or bolus analgesic techniques. Additionally, European College of Veterinary Neurology neurologists reported more frequent use of foraminal injections.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Significance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Management of cervical Hansen type I intervertebral disc herniation shows strong agreement regarding diagnostic imaging and surgical decompression, but notable variation in analgesic strategies, medical management and activity restriction.
