Syndactylysim in a Mashona calf: A case report

Abstract

A three-week old female Mashona calf was presented to the University of Zimbabwe Veterinary Teaching Hospital with congenital malformations. On clinical examination, syndactylysim in all four feet, brachygnathia, arthrogryposis and kyphosis were observed. The calf was euthanized and post-mortem findings were consistent with the clinical diagnoses. (Zimbabwe Veterinary Journal, 2000, 31(4): 92-94)
