In dogs the short branch of the '''dorsal sacroiliac ligaments''' connects the sacral tuberosity to the mamillary processes of the sacrum. The '''sacrotuberous ligament''' consists of a fibrous cord between the iscial tuberosity and the transverse process of the last sacral vertebrae. (This ligament is absent in the cat.)
