Syndaktylie · Fused toes · Zusammengewachsene Zehen · Syndactylism · Webbed toes deformity
Syndactyly is a congenital skeletal condition where two or more toes on a dog's paw are fused together. This fusion occurs during embryonic development and can involve just the skin or the underlying bones of the toes. Veterinarians typically use physical examinations and X-rays to evaluate the structure of the bones and determine the severity of the fusion.
This condition is present at birth, meaning the fused toes are visible on the paws immediately. While some dogs experience no discomfort, those with fused bones may show signs of pain, abnormal weight-bearing, or lameness as they grow and walk.
Mild cases that do not cause pain or mobility issues do not require treatment. If the fusion causes discomfort, a one-time surgical separation of the toes can be performed, with typical treatment and aftercare costs ranging from 200 to 1500 EUR.
