Abstract

Radial agenesis of the left leg in a two-month-old female, domestic shorthair cat is described. She had a deformity of the left foreleg. Radiographic examination revealed complete absence of the left radius, radial carpal bone, first metacarpus and phalange, together with varus desviation of the carpus and metacarpus and luxation of the elbow joint. Fusion of the atlas and axis was also found without clinical signs. Amputation was the recommended treatment, but the owner rejected it.
