Abstract

Extract

Hypertrophic osteodystrophy is a skeletal disease of growing dogs (Meier et al., Citation1957), usually affecting the larger breeds. There is subperiosteal haemorrhage followed by periosteal hyperplasia and calcification. Low levels of ascorbic acid in the blood have been associated with the syndrome. Differential diagnosis includes trauma, panosteitis, systemic viral or bacterial infection with joint involvement, secondary nutritional hyperparathyroidism, and pulmonary osteoarthropathy (Dueland, Citation1974).
