The final cohort consisted of 110 dogs, aged between 2\u201319\u2009years, with no significant sex differences. The majority (97.2%) of dogs had a BCS of \u22654. Among the top four breeds (Maltese, Pomeranian, Poodle, and Chihuahua), the most severe collapse was observed in the carinal region. The grade of collapse on fluoroscopy was mostly related to high BCS (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.007) and low body weight (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).
