*The humerus is essentially the same conformation as that of the dog.

===Radius and Ulna===
===Radius and Ulna===
*There is a proximal and distal interosseous space which are the only two places where the shafts are seperated
*There is a proximal and distal interosseous space which are the only two places where the shafts are seperated
*The ulna's proximal end is caudal to the radius and it's distal end forms the lateral styloid process, distal to the radius and articulating with the ulnar carpal bone.

*'''Collateral ligaments''' extend from the radius to the metacarpal bones on the medial and lateral aspect of the carpus.

*The carpal canal houses both the deep digital flexor tendon and the deep branch of the superficial digital flexor.
