SUMMARY

Pituitary dwarfism in a dog – case report

The problem of pituitary dwarfism in animals is not widely known to veterinarians and breeders. This problem is only emphasized during university studies. Therefore, there is very little evidence of this disease in the available literature. Pituitary dwarfism is most common in German Shepherds, but it has been recorded in a Karelian bear dog, wolfhound and Weimaraner.
