Physeal Dysplasia in Three Domestic Felines
Keywords:
Felines, orchiectomy, femoral colocephalectomyAbstract
Feline Physeal Dysplasia (FFD), also called slipped femoral proximal femoral epiphysis, is the result of a
weakening of the proximal femoral epiphyseal cartilage. Although its etiology is not well understood, it is known
that early orchiectomy makes closure of the epiphysis difficult, which contributes to DFF. The main clinical signs
are lameness, sensitivity in the pelvic limbs, and restriction of movements, especially the most sudden ones.
Therefore, the present work aims to describe the cases of three cats, aged two years and five months, one year and
five months, and two years and five months, males and Without Defined Breed (SRD), which presented for
veterinary care with complaints of pelvic limb lameness, pain upon manipulation of the coxofemoral joint, and
reluctance to more intense activities, avoiding jumping or climbing in high places. X-rays of the hip region were
requested, in which it was possible to diagnose DFF, and femoral head resection surgery was recommended.
Keywords: Felines, orchiectomy, femoral colocephalectomy.
