These radius and ulna bones are completely separated in the dog skeleton anatomy. I will show you the osteological features of these two bones of the dog’s forearm separately. You will find two-part in the dog pubis bone – the body and two rami. The body of the dog pubis bone is flat triangular that helps form the acetabular cavity and obturator foramen.

These are very common and exception osteological features of the dog femur anatomy. I hope you will get all the osteological characteristics from the dog femur labeled diagram.
