Abstract

Camine panostitis was diagnosed in 27 male German shepherd and other large dogs at different ages. Clinical signs included shifting leg lameness and pain reaction when applying presure on the effected long bones. Haematological findings showed no Significant eosinophilia of the afflicted dogs. The salient radiographic features of the disease revealed minute or focal radiodensities in the medullary cavity of long bones, accompanied with thickening of endosteum and periosteum. Histopathological, showed fibroblastic and osteoblastic activities and no evidence of inflammatory cell infiltration. Canine panostitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lameness in young large breeds of dogs.
