Abstract

Fibrous osteodystrophy is a condition characterised by marked bone resorption with fibrous tissue proliferation and insufficient mineralisation of immature-bone. In this report two kids of same litter having four months age were presented with inanition, dyspnoea, exophthalmos and marked facial swelling since few days. On examination the facial bones were tender and soft and tongue was protruded out. Biochemical evaluation of serum revealed lowered blood calcium and increased phosphorous level. The animals were treated with calcium and vitamin D injections and oral phosphate binders.
