“…The puppy described in this report had severe Malassezia and bacterial pododermatitis in addition to calcinosis circumscripta of foot pads. Concurrent staphylococcal pododermatitis was diagnosed in a previously reported case of calcinosis circumscripta of multiple foot pads in an 8-month-old German Shepherd dog (Legendre et al, 1974). According to this report, foot pad mineralisation in this German Shepherd dog was partially regressed after treating staphylococcal pododermatitis with antibiotics.…”

A 5-month old Pomeranian puppy with lameness in all four limbs, polydipsia, polyuria, vomiting, and melena observed approximately for one month was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Peradeniya. The metacarpal and metatarsal foot pads of all four limbs were swollen with chalky white, mottling. The differential diagnoses for the foot pad lesions were fungal granuloma, calcinosis circumscripta, and neoplasia. The fine needle aspirates obtained from the foot pad lesions were chalky white, gritty, and microscopically consistent with mineral deposits. Plain radiographs of the metacarpals revealed deposition of radiopaque material in metacarpal and digital foot pads with normal bones and joints. Based on the gross lesions, radiography, and fine needle aspiration cytology, a tentative diagnosis of calcinosis circumscripta of foot pads was made. Haematology and serum chemistry revealed microcytic hypochromic anaemia and mild azotaemia. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed small right and left kidneys with increased overall echogenicity and poor corticomedullary differentiation. The historical, clinical, radiographic, and ultrasonographic findings were suggestive of calcinosis circumscripta in multiple foot pads with concurrent renal disease. The very young age of the dog was highly suggestive of renal dysplasia as the cause of concurrent renal disease. Despite the supportive and symptomatic treatments, the puppy died five days after the presentation. This appears to be the first report of calcinosis circumscripta of foot pads with evidence of renal disease diagnosed in a dog less than one year old.

“…Only a few reports in veterinary literature describe calcinosis circumscripta in association with renal disease in dogs (Legendre et al, 1974;Scott et al, 1988;Croom et al, 1994;Gross et al, 1997;Nicole and Nyssa., 2022;Arnaud et al, 2010). To the best of our knowledge, none of the previous reports included a dog less than one year old.…”

Calcinosis is the term applied to the abnormal deposition of calcium salts in the skin, subcutaneous tissues, muscles and tendons of the body. The first authentic case was reported in association with scleroderma by Weber in 1878, who interpreted the condition as a form of gout. Since then, the syndrome has been the subject of a great deal of discussion and controversy as to the etiology, the pathology and the therapy concerned. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURECalcinosis has been recognized as not being limited to any one disease and has been reported in association with a variety of conditions: and W'elt, cases 1 and 2 in this report), lipodystrophia progressiva (Kuznitzky and Melchior), leukemia (Riehl), osteomyelitis of the pelvic bones, with staphylococcic septicemia (Jadassohn), myositis ossificans (Gate, Michel and Thévenon; Turpin, Brun and Guillaumin) and renal rickets, or dwarfism, with arterial degen¬ eration (Lightwood).From the Pediatric Service of Dr. B\l=e'\la Schick, the Mount Sinai Hospital.
