  • A 5-month-old, intact female pointer weighing 13 kg was referred for diagnosis and treatment of bilateral thoracic limb hyperflexion without trauma. After physical and radiographic examination, carpal laxity syndrome was diagnosed. A modified Robert-Jones bandage was applied and cage rest, including general puppy food, was prescribed for 3 weeks. The patient acquired normal gait with weight bearing, with non-remarkable findings on radiographic examination. The modified Robert-Jones bandage was sufficient to treat carpal laxity syndrome in this case.
