The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of fracture and the risk variables connected to its occurrence in calves and cats at Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. A total of 96 (calves) and 17 (cats) retrospective datasets were compiled between January 2015 and December 2019. Age, sex, breed, season, involvement of the bone, and type of fracture were considered to characterize fractures. To examine the data, simple descriptive statistics were used. At around 6 months, there were the highest rates of long bone fractures in both calves and cats (77%, n = 74; and 65%, n = 11). According to sex variation, fracture was more common in male calves (61%, n = 59) and female cats (76%, n = 13). Calves and cats from native breeds had the highest fracture rates (52%, n = 50) and (100%, n = 17), respectively. The summer season saw the highest rates of long bone fractures in both calves (41%, n = 39) and cats (53%, n = 9). The majority of the fractures in calves (42%, n = 41) were found to be in the metatarsal bone during pre-operative clinical assessment. In cats, this primarily affected the femur (41%, n = 7). Cats (59%, n = 10) and calves (55%, n = 53) had the highest rate of transverse long bone fractures. This study will help to establish the frequency of fractures, which is very important clinically in the examination and diagnosis of fractures in calves and cats.
