A five-year old half-bred gelding presented with a severe lameness on the right forelimb. Eight hours previously a nail had been removed from the palmar aspect of the foot, but it was assumed that this puncture was well away from any vital structures. Initially, the horse was not lame, but with time it had steadily deteriorated.

A 7-year-old male neutered DSH is presented because it has an abnormal gait (walking with the hocks touching the ground) and posture. There is no history of trauma and the owner believes that these abnormalities have developed over the last few weeks. On further questioning, the owner reveals that the cat has been losing weight for the last 2 months, during which time it has also been noticeably polydipsic and polyuric.
