Abstract :This case report describes the clinical presentation of a 6-month-old female unvaccinated mixed-breed dog with bilaterally mandibular swelling, anorexia, and a decline in general health. The dog also exhibited firm swelling at the distal anterior surface of the antebrachium and mandible, along with increased salivation and painful mouth movements. Additionally, enamel hypoplasia was diagnosed, leading to a suspected Canine Distemper Virus infection (CDV). Further examination using clinical, radiological, and computerized tomography (CT) findings revealed a diagnosis of Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO). Through clinical and imaging findings, this report highlights the co-occurrence of suspected CDV infection, enamel hypoplasia, and CMO in a 6-month-old mixed-breed unvaccinated dog.
