Abstract:
Bone related disorders constitute an important cause for lameness in dogs. Some bone disorders affect the joint membranes themselves. Bone disorders may be congenital or may be the result of injury to the joint, abnormal development, immune-related conditions or infections. Pain is the most common symptom of bone disorders. Bone related disorders like Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is a common disorder of humans and animals. It is generally regarded as a non -inflammatory condition of articular cartilage resulting from natural aging, trauma, or disease. Studies using clinical sign, blood parameters and radiographic techniques for evaluating various bone related disorders in dogs will be useful in diagnosis and a proper treatment regimen.
