Question 1
A 6-year old male neutered Weimaraner presents for left forelimb lameness. Radiographs
are shown below and show a mixed productive and destructive lesion affecting the left
distal radius with accompanying soft tissue swelling. The lesion does not cross the joint.
What is the most common primary bone tumor in the dog?
A. Osteosarcoma
B. Hemangiosarcoma
C. Fibrosarcoma
D. Multiple myeloma
E. Chondrosarcoma
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Osteosarcoma
The correct answer is osteosarcoma. Chondrosarcoma, fibrosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma
can all be primary bone tumors but are much less common in dogs than osteosarcoma.
Question 2
A 1-year old Pit Bull presents with smooth papules and plaques along the buccal mucosa
and a larger grey pedunculated hyperkeratotic mass. The rest of the dermatological
examination was unremarkable. You remove the larger mass and one of the papules with
punch biopsies and submit the samples for histopathology. The diagnosis returns as
papilloma. What is your next step?
A. Chemotherapy
B. Radiation therapy

, C. Further diagnostics such as abdominal ultrasound and chest X-rays for staging
D. Observation without treatment
E. Referral to surgeon for advanced imaging and radical surgical removal
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Observation without treatment
The correct answer is observation without treatment. Most cases of canine oral
papillomatosis will resolve without treatment in about 3 months. In severe cases, treatment
might include surgical removal, laser ablation, or cryotherapy. Although, papillomatosis is
usually benign, transformation to squamous cell carcinoma can occur but this is very rare.
Canine oral papillomatosis is very common and affects young dogs. It is caused by
papillomavirus, which spreads by direct and indirect contact. Usually infection occurs at
sites of damaged skin or mucous membranes.
Question 3
A 2-year old female spayed Labrador Retriever presents for a right forelimb lameness and
radial valgus in the right antebrachium. Which of the following is a possible therapeutic
option for this dog?
A. Corrective osteotomy
B. Periosteal stripping of the concave aspect of the bone
C. Arthrodesis of the elbow
D. Casting the limb, activity restriction, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Corrective osteotomy
The correct answer is corrective osteotomy. Corrective osteotomies of the radius and ulna
are often performed to relieve pain and the functional abnormalities induced by angular
limb deformities.
