Abstract

A 3-year-old, female mixed-breed dog had malformations of both thoracic limbs and the vertebral column. Radiographs of the forelimbs showed bilateral development of 2 digits and aplasia of 3 carpal bones. Kyphosis, scoliosis, and deformed vertebrae were present in the thoracolumbar vertebral column.
