  • Title: Dietary-related skeletal changes in a Shetland sheepdog puppy.
    Author: McMillan CJ, Griffon DJ, Marks SL, Mauldin GE.
    Journal: J Am Anim Hosp Assoc; 2006; 42(1):57-64. PubMed ID: 16397196.
    Abstract:
    A commercially available, renal failure diet was used to manage suspected renal failure in a 10-week-old Shetland sheepdog puppy. Rickets subsequently developed, possibly from low phosphorous intake and an increased calcium to phosphorus ratio. Decreased dietary calcium in addition to decreased phosphorus may have played a role in decreasing bone mineral density. Lethargy, decreased long bone growth, angular limb deformity, and osteopenia occurred, but these signs resolved within 3 months with nutritional management.
