*This case
 
**Calcium hydroxyapatite deposition in the axial skeleton and included marked fibrocartilagenous proliferation resulting in compression of the cervical cord
 
**10wk old Gt Dane
 
**Ca2+ and Phosphorous serum levels normal
 
**May get skeletal malformations secondary  to the deposition of the mineral in the joint (starts on the articular facets of cervical vertebrae)
