________________

Answer 14

Acetabulum

Question 15

Opening in the pelvis formed by ischium and pubis

Answer 15

Obturator foramen

Question 16

When do all 3 bones of the pelvis unite in the dog versus the horse (include when secondary centers ossify)?

Answer 16

Dog: all 3 bones by 6 months (secondary centers 2 years-why OFA rads(xrays) can’t be taken until 2 years of age

Horse: all 3 bones unite by 1 year, secondary ossification centers of pelvis 5 years

both are between the tuber sacrale (slightly in the middle and back)

you will feel on the dog S1

on the horse your sacral base is S2 (the first palpable)
