Practical relevance Cats, both young and old, can suffer a variety of weird and wonderful musculoskeletal conditions that are a cause of lameness. These include developmental, metabolic and nutritional bone diseases, ectopic mineralisation disorders, conditions that cause lameness or exercise intolerance and primarily or secondarily affect muscle, and lastly pad conditions. Clinical challenges These conditions are mostly rare and can be challenging to diagnose. The aim of this review is to bring these conditions to the attention of practitioners so that, if they are encountered, further research around the topic can be undertaken. Radiographic changes and diagnostic tests that can be used to try to confirm diagnoses are described. Evidence base These unusual causes of lameness are the subject of multiple single case reports or small case series, many of which are relatively old. The evidence presented here is drawn from these articles. However, it is not possible within the scope of this review to discuss all the conditions in as much detail as they may warrant, or to make reference to every article relating to them. |
