ABSTRACT
Javdani M, Nikousefat
Z., Limping panosteitis in a female Pomeranian puppy,
Onl J Vet Res., 21(3):110-114, 2017. Canine limping with panosteitis is an acquired self-limiting inflammatory
condition of unknown etiology affecting diaphyseal
and metaphyseal regions of the long bones of immature male large-breed dogs. A
4 month-old female Pomeranian puppy presented with intermittent lameness in the
hind limbs accompanied by depression, anorexia and fever. Palpation of thighs
elicited pain with no evidence of swelling and fracture. Vital signs were
normal but radiography showed increased density in the medullary cavity of both
femurs. Panosteitis was diagnosed and puppy was given
0.2mg/kg meloxicam daily for 7d and calcium-vit D.
Dietary change and gradual daily walking was suggested and reduced lameness
after 2 weeks.
