title: Radiographic features of two cases of feline proximal femoral dysplasia.
abstract: Congenital or acquired feline femoral dysplasia have seldom been reported in the literature. This report describes two cases of femoral dysplasia involving the proximal epiphyses. Bilateral agenesis of the femoral head and neck (case 1) constituted an incidental finding during a post-traumatic radiographic examination, while right proximal femoral dysplasia (case 2) was observed during an orthopaedic examination for lameness. To the authors' knowledge, such imaging findings have not been reported before in cats.
