Canine panosteitis is a spontaneous and self-limiting disease. It occurs more often in young dogs of larger breeds. The specific cause is unknown. It is accompanied by the formation of new bone in the endosteum and periosteum. The new bone formation is obvious. The main lesion is that trabeculae embed into the bone marrow to form endosteal bone. The bone marrow contains a large number of cells and has varying degrees of fibrosis, but there is no chronic inflammation. , acute infection or malignant tumor appears.

If you want to confirm the diagnosis, it is best to take another one after 15 days. The X-ray film will show the bone The shape of the trabeculae is blurred, the density increases, the medullary cavity is reshaped, and the cortical bone becomes thickened. Then spots appear in the medullary cavity and the bone cortex becomes thickened. Generally does not extend to the epiphysis. After about 30 days, the medullary cavity where the lesion first appeared begins to recover, and it can completely return to normal after 70 to 90 days. However, long bones that have been damaged by this disease many times will also become deformed and thickened. The bone marrow loses its normal hematopoietic activity.
