| Abstract | ||
| The present study was conducted on 16 fresh cats’ hind paws to investigate the anatomical description of the arterial blood supply at the level below the tarsus, which considered as the potential site for intra- operation hemorrhage and thrombus formation. Six cat hind paws with intravascular latex injection, four limbs for surgical approach and three cats used in Duplex ultrasonography technique as a tool for estimating the diameter of the arteries of hind paw of potentially clinical relevant. This work reported that, the hind paw of the cat was supplied by branches from the saphenous A. and the cranial tibial A. Both dorsal and planter aspects of the paw was supplied by superficial and deep sets of arteries; the superficial set consists of the common digital arteries II, III and IV While, the deep set was formed of the metatarsal arteries II, III and IV. | ||
