On initial examination, the dog was non-weight bearing on his right rear limb. Ophthalmic examination revealed a centrally located, superficial corneal ulcer in the right eye and blood in the anterior chamber. Radiographic findings of the pelvis and right rear were suggestive of avascular necrosis of the right femoral neck with resultant fracture and possible avascular necrosis of the left femoral neck. The dog presented 20 days later for evaluation of an acute left rear limb lameness. A left distal femur Salter-Harris type II fracture; a nondisplaced, healing right pubic fracture; and a healing right zygomatic arch transverse fracture were seen on radiographs. The dog\u2019s initial injuries were attributed to a routine fall at home, and radiographic interpretation suggested that this was plausible. Subsequent patient visits, evaluation of additional injuries, and interviews with the owner indicated that both animal and domestic abuse had occurred. Veterinarians must be alert to recognize signs of animal abuse and must be aware of the connection between animal and domestic abuse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,1]],"date-time":"2018-10-01T10:54:46Z","timestamp":1538391286000},"page":"e546-03","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Case of Animal and Domestic Abuse Initially Diagnosed as Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Ira","family":"Roth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia (I.R.); and Athens Area Humane Society, Athens, Georgia (J.M.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janet","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia (I.R.); and Athens Area Humane Society, Athens, Georgia (J.M.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"bib1","series-title":"Can Vet J","first-page":"333","article-title":"Common long bone fractures in small animal practice: part 1","volume":"44","author":"Harasen\n              G","year":"2003","unstructured":"Harasen\n              G\n            \n          .
