Clinical and radiographic examination of three cases of radial hemimelia in cats
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The aim of the study was to analyze three cases of radial hemimelia in cats. The illness was diagnosed during the clinical and radiographic examination of the cats, aged between 6 and 16 weeks. Radiographic examination revealed not only the absence of the radial structures of the forearm, deformation of the ulna, but also subluxation of the humeroulnar and anterobrachial joints and the incorrect location of the carpal bones. No attempt was made to treat the abnormal limb in any of the cases. After a few months the cats were examined again. In all three cases the abnormality of the limb resulted in different constraints of physical fitness as well as different developments of degenerative joint disease. No symptoms of distinct discomfort occurred. Adaptation to the abnormality was very good and with simple assistance the cats were capable of living a fairly normal life.
