Introduction: Considering the importance of the forelimb bones in bearing body weight and movement of animals, a comparative study was performed. Materials and Methods: Specimens from dog were obtained following the owner's authorization, within 2 hr after euthanasia at the Pathobiology Research Center of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ilam University. Also a dead fox was brought to our clinic by environmental guards. After routine dissection; a sample of the forelimb bones was prepared to examine in detail. Results: The scapular spin was more prominent in the fox. On the protruding scapular protrusion of the fox, in addition to the appendix appendage, there was another protrusion called the supra humatus. In the fox's ossicle, a lesser tubercle appears to be quite distinct and larger than in a dog. The grater tubercle in the fox's arm was much larger than the lesser tubercle which was not so noticeable in the dog. The deltoid tuberosity, which is not visible in the dog, was quite clear in the fox. External spearheads sharper and sharper than those of foxes were observed in the inferior radial bone. The number of carpal bones in two similar animals and not much difference between the metacarpal bone and the phalanx of these two animals were not observed. Discussion: Considering the findings of the present study, it seems that the general design of the forelimb bones of these two animals is similar, although they have some differences. The results of this study may be used by veterinarians.
