Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 12-year-old kitten was found to have bone fragility. Previously described causes of bone fragility in domestic cats were excluded on the basis of serum biochemical profile and radiographic histologic examinations. The findings in this kitten correlated most closely with osteogenesis imperfecta, a syndrome documented in human beings and cattle.
