Panosteitis, sometimes shortened to pano among breeders,[1] is an occasionally seen long bone condition in large breed dogs.
The cause is unknown, but genetics, stress, infection, metabolism, or an autoimmune component may be factors.
On physical exam, the dog may display signs of pain on palpation of the long bones of the limbs.
It is also recommended to limit physical activity during treatment to prevent exacerbating the condition with high impacts.
[11] There has been one suspected case of panosteitis in a fast-growing six-month-old camel with a shifting leg lameness.
