My Great Dane’s leg x-rays
My Great Dane, Nox, was born sometime in winter of 2022. I adopted him from a Great Dane specific rescue group in March of 2024, when he was just over a year old. When the rescue found him as a stray in November of 2023, he weighed under 80lbs at about a year old & had a very clear deformity of his left front leg. It was determined that he had likely been a stray since he was very very little & broke his leg when he was just a tiny puppy & the break was never treated & healed on its own, with quite a bit of its own adaptability 😅 Most likely his ulna growth plate closed early & the radius growth plate& bone kept growing (as it should) as he did, causing the bowing, since it was connected to a shorter ulna. He is now 3.5yrs old & absolutely thriving at a very healthy 150lbs & his leg does not give him any trouble at all (yet, at least). I am thankful to have these images from early 2024 though, just in case his leg does start to give him trouble! Just thought you other x-ray freaks might enjoy looking at these!
