Summary
Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD) is an uncommon pathology; it is frequently characterized by benign prognostic outcome that usually affects large breed growing puppies. HOD may sometimes occur with severe systemic pattern that could develop quickly into death. Unluckily, its uncertain etiology still bears to treat the disease just symptomatically.
