Fig. 40.5.Symmetric lupoid onychodystrophy in a 6-year-old female-spayed German shepherd. Following
onychomadesis, regrowth resulted in brittle, misshapen, and shortened claws.
Fig. 40.6.Symmetric lupoid onychodystrophy in an 11-year-old male-castrate German shepherd. Onycholysis
has caused separation of the claw proximally from the coronary band and lateral and medial walls, resulting in
a hollowed-out appearance to the claw prior to sloughing.
