A condition caused by deficiency of vitamin D, especially in infancy and childhood, with disturbance of normal ossification.
The disease is marked by bending and distortion of the bones under muscular action, by the formation of nodular enlargements on the ends and sides of the bones, by delayed closure of the fontanelles, pain in the muscles and sweating of the head. Vitamin D and sunlight together with an adequate diet are curative, provided that the parathyroid glands are functioning properly. - osteomalacia

- a disease of horses, pigs, goats, dogs, cats, and rarely cattle. It is most commonly caused by an excessive dietary intake of phosphorus in the absence of adequte calcium, which in the horse is likely to be the result of a diet mainly of grain and in dogs and cats one predominantly of meat, but it may also result from other dietary causes. in most species there is swelling of the mandbile and maxillae which is most marked in horses, loosening of teeth, shifting lameness, and particulary in dogs and cats, weight bearing skeletal deformitites (angle wings) and folding or compression fractures. called also miller disease, bran disease, bighead, siamese cat disease, paper-bone disease

- arthritis
- An inflammatory condition that affects joints. Can be infective, autoimmune, traumatic in origin.
- rheumatoid arthritis
-
Chronic inflammatory disease in which there is destruction of joints. Considered by some to be an autoimmune disorder in which immune complexes are formed in joints and excite an inflammatory response (complex mediated hypersensitivity).
Cell-mediated (type IV) hypersensitivity also occurs and macrophages accumulate. This in turn leads to the destruction of the synovial lining - periarthritis
- Inflammation of the tissues around a joint

- Inflammation of a bursa, occasionally accompanied by a calcific deposit in the underlying supraspinatus tendon
- septic arthritis
-
A pus-forming bacterial infection of a joint space.
Symptoms include a hot, swollen, red joint, that is very tender to any attempted movement. - synovitis
-
Inflammation of a synovial membrane. It is usually painful, particularly on motion and is characterised by a fluctuating swelling due to effusion within a synovial sac.
Synovitis is qualified as fibrinous, gonorrhoeal, hyperplastic, lipomatous, metritic, puerperal, rheumatic, scarlatinal, syphilitic, tuberculous, urethral, etc. - desmitis

- muscular dystrophy
- group of diseases characterised by progressive degeneration and/or loss of muscle fibres without nervous system involvement. All or nearly all of them have a hereditary origin but details of the type of genetic defect and of the prognosis for the disease vary from type to type. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy) is the most common form. It is due to a sex-linked recessive allele and this is expressed as an absence of the protein dystrophin, the disease in boys shows extensive but insufficient muscle fibre reformation from satellite cells.

- myositis
- Inflammation of a voluntary muscle
- myasthemia gravis
- The characteristic feature of the disease is easy fatigue of certain voluntary muscle groups on repeated use. Muscles of the face or upper trunk are especially likely to be affected. In most and perhaps all cases due to the development of autoantibodies against the acetylcholine receptor in neuromuscular junctions. Immunisation of mice or rats with this receptor protein leads to a disease with the features of myasthenia.
- polymyositis
- An inflammatory condition of muscle of unknown aetiology. Muscle pain and weakness are common symptoms of this condition. When associated with a skin rash the condition is referred to as dermatomyositis.
- myorrhexis
- Tearing of a muscle.
