| |
| − | | |
| − | *Vitamin A is essential for normal bone growth in foetus and neonates
| |
| − | *Hypovitaminosis from dietary deficiency of dam -> teratogenic in pigs and large cats
| |
| − | *More commonly, deficiency in neonates (puppies, kittens, calves, piglets) on vitamin-deficient diets
| |
| − | *Dietary deficiency -> failure of [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|osteoclastic remodelling]] resulting in bone overgrowth and nerve compression
| |
| − | *Optic nerves particularly affected

| − | **[[Musculoskeletal Terminology - Pathology|Osteophyte]] formation in prolonged exposure
| |
| − | *In cats fed bovine liver for prolonged periods
| |
| − | **Rich in vitamin A in grazing animals
| |
| − | **Vertebrae fuse with each other due to bone proliferation - '''cervical spondylosis''' ('''ankylosing exostosis''' of the vertebral column), especially in the neck
| |
| − | *Can also be teratogenic, especially in pigs ([[Cleft Palate|cleft plate]] and abortions)

| |
| − | | |
| − | *May be of dietary or iatrogenic origin (has narrow safety margin)
| |
| − | *Key features are hypercalcaemia with metastatic calcification of soft tissues
| |
| − | *'''Acute poisoning'''
| |
| − | **In dogs and cats often from rodenticides containing cholecalciferol
| |
| − | **Grossly:
| |
| − | ***Gastrointestinal haemorrhage
| |
| − | ***Foci of [[Myocardial Mineralisation|myocardial discoloration]]
| |
| − | **Microscopically:
| |
| − | ***Mucosal haemorrhage
| |
| − | ***Necrosis of crypts
| |
| − | ***Focal myocardial necrosis
| |
| − | ***Mineralisation of intestinal mucosa, [[Arterial Calcification#Medial calcification|blood vessel walls]], [[Pulmonary Calcification|lungs]] and kidneys
| |
| − | *'''Chronic poisoning'''
| |
| − | **Grossly:
| |
| − | ***Intense [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|osteoclastic activity]] -> active resorption of bone, especially [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|trabecular]]
| |
| − | **Microscopically:
| |
| − | ***Excessive production of [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|osteoid]] - appears both eosinophilic and basophilic in different places
| |
| − | ***Marrow cavity may be obliterated
| |
| − | ***Mineralisation of soft tissues, especially [[Arterial Calcification|blood vessel walls]]
| |
| − | **Due to inhibition of [[Calcium|Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)|PTH]] and increase of [[Calcium#Calcitonin|calcitonin]]

| |
| − | | |
| − | *F is widespread in nature
| |
| − | *Pastures may be contaminated by industrial processes (e.g. brick manufacture)
| |
| − | *'''Acute poisoning''':

| |
| − | **''Dental abnormalities''
| |
| − | ***Intoxication during teeth development
| |
| − | ***Foci of poor enamel formation - yellow, dark brown/black, chalky
| |
| − | ***Irregular wear of teeth, chip easily
| |
| − | **''Osteodystrophy = Fluorosis''
| |
| − | ***Generalised skeletal disturbance
| |
| − | ***Most affected are metatarsals and mandibles
| |
| − | ***Periosteal hyperostosis + endosteal bone resorption -> thickened bones with enlarged marrow cavities

| − | ===Lead poisoning===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Lead can bind to mineral portion of bone and cartilage
| |
| − | *In young animals ingesting large dose at once
| |
| − | ** -> Lead induced malfunction of osteoclasts
| |
| − | ** -> Transverse band of increased density on radiographs of metaphysis = "lead line" = [[Retention of Elongated Primary Trabeculae|growth retardation lattice]]
