Amputation is the oldest surgical procedure recorded. In small animals, mainly dogs and cats, the goal of these procedures maintain the patient's life, when it is affected by lesions that progress to necrosis, malignancies, distal irreparable injury, and another one. The force platforms used to measure ground reaction forces involved inhuman and animal movement, allowing the interpretation of movement through mechanical variables. This study aims to analyse the distribution of weighting every limb and compare them with data from animals considered normal (with four limbs). It was studied 20 canines, divided into four groups: Group 1 (without the left forelimb), Group 2 (without the right forelimb), Group 3 (without the left hind limb) and Group4 (without the right hind limb). The animals evaluated within groups were not normal standard and they were above or below the upper and lower limits, because they had not one of the four members, adapting and transferring your weight to one of the other three members. It can be concluded that canines without the left forelimb band right forelimb transfer the weight to theirs contra lateral sides. Dogs that have not left forelimb transfer 76.99% of weight to the contra lateral side, as well as dog without right forelimb transferring 71.73% of weight to the contra lateral side. The canines that have not the left or right hind limbs, transfer weight to the forelimbs.
