Answer to Firdays VTNE question of the day... If a dog has a neurologic problem and she is adducting her front legs, what is she doing with them? B - Moving legs inward, towards the midline ADDuct means moving a limb TOWARDS the midline (ie: underneath). ABduct means movement of a limb AWAY from the midline. ABaxial means AWAY from the middle of the animal. Caudal means towards the tail/hind end. Rostral means towards the nose. Cranial means towards the head. Ventral is towards the ground. Dorsal means along to topline/back. For eyes, remember that OU means BOTH eyes, OD means the RIGHT eye and OS means the LEFT eye. Ref: Pasquini & Spurgeons Anatomy Dom An 11th ed. pp. 16-17.
