Abstract
Bilateral hind-limb lameness, associated with tarsal exostoses in a Sc ottish fold diagnosed as having Scottish fold osteodystrophy, resolved following staged bilateral ostectomies and pantarsal arthrodeses. Deg enerative changes in the phalangeal joints of the hind limbs have prog ressed radiographically, but lameness has not recurred 48 weeks follow ing the second arthrodesis. Additional skeletal abnormalities were det ected radiographically in both carpi and in several caudal vertebrae. A partial, left-sided conduction deafness was diagnosed by evaluating brain stem auditory-evoked responses.
