- Almost exlusively in small dogs, particularly terriers and poodles
- Clinical signs appear at age of 4-11 months
- Grossly:
- Aseptic ischaemic necrosis in central parts of femoral head
- Possibly due to occlusion of blood vessels
- Fragmentation of trabecular bone
- Collapse of femoral head
- Revascularisation of femoral head
- Formation of new bone and osteophyte formation around femoral head and acetabular rim prior to old bone reabsorption
- -> severe degenerative arthropathy
- Aseptic ischaemic necrosis in central parts of femoral head
