Rostrofacial Indices of the Nigerian Local Dog: Implications in Veterinary Oral and Maxillo-facial Anaesthesiology of the Dolichocephalic Canine Breed

There has been a recent increase in the use of trained dogs in animal-assisted therapy programmes. This morphological study uses the Nigerian local dog as a prototype dolichocephalic to determine rostrofacial parameters which are of clinical and anesthesiological importance in veterinary oral surger...
