More than 80% of 61 canine and 26 feline fractures diagnosed between January 1980 and June 1983 at a veterinary teaching hospital occurred in animals less than two years old. Male animals were more frequently involved. In the dog, the femur, tibia, pelvis, radius and ulna were most often affected while in the cat, the femur, mandible, pelvis and spine were more often involved. All the findings were consistent with other reports in the literature.
