A case of unilateral hindlimb adactyly is described in a 3-month-old female Pointer dog. Clinical and radiographic findings are described. Adactyly or transverse hemimelia is a rare condition in most animal species. In dogs, this condition has been reported only three times as a deformity of the forelimb. To the authors' knowledge, the congenital pelvic limb deformity described here is the first case documented in a dog.
本文描述了一只3个月大的雌性波音达犬单侧后肢无指(趾)畸形的病例。文中介绍了临床和放射学检查结果。无指(趾)畸形或横向半肢畸形在大多数动物物种中都很罕见。在犬类中,这种情况仅作为前肢畸形被报道过3次。据作者所知,此处描述的先天性盆肢畸形是犬类中记录的首例病例。
