This report documents clinical and radiographic findings in three dogs with congenital deformity involving the distal extremities. Case 1 was affected with bilateral aphalangia of the pedes, case 2 presented a combination of brachydactyly and syndactyly, whereas in case 3 a unilateral ectrodactyly was observed. To the authors’ knowledge, brachydactyly, as well as aphalangia, are very uncommon anomalies and have been rarely documented. Moreover, association between syndactyly and brachydactyly has still not been reported.http://www.openveterinaryjournal.com/2016/Volume%206%20(3)/OVJ-135-06-16%20F.%20Di%20Dona%20et%20al.pdfAphalangiaBrachydactylyCongenital deformityDogSyndactyly
