Abstract

SUMMARY A 6-month-old calf was lame in both hindlimbs. A circumscribed diffuse swelling had developed over the medial malleolus of each tibia. Radiographic examination and histologic examination of the bone biopsy specimen revealed acute osteomyelitis. Antibiotic therapy, both intravenously and directly into the distal end of each tibia, did not result in improvement. Necropsy examination confirmed bilateral osteomyelitis of the distal tibia, with destruction of each epiphyseal plate.
