What does the plantar surface of distal forelimb mean in simple terms when reffering to bpm a dog?

"Plantar surface of distal forelimb" is a fancy way of saying the bottom of the dog's front paw.

Here's a breakdown:

* Plantar: Refers to the bottom surface of the foot.

* Distal: Means furthest away from the body's center (so, the paw).

* Forelimb: Refers to the front leg.

So, when someone mentions the plantar surface of the distal forelimb of a dog, they're talking about the area where the dog's front paw touches the ground.
