Really good contrast on films- in my experience, maybe too much, lol. Elbows- left cleaner than right, though I think they *might* pass both- kind of depends on the panel that reads them.

Hips, fair, I would guess, maybe good- with the patellas all the way to the inside like that, I'd like to see the femoral heads set a bit deeper, but I don't see any evidence of a problem, either. The dog is somewhat tilted on the table, making the left appear worse than the right, but I don't think it truly is. They should pass.

Breed, age, gender?

Although I have not looked at many Terv hips or elbows, these should be at least "fair" with any luck a good. Not sure on elbows. sorry, however, I think regarding the hips that they are turned inward way too much for a true evaluation but are you sending to OFA?? Good luck Nan

X-rays like this (hips) wouldn´t pass SV just because of the positioning, although I don´t see any major faults. Even the angle of the elbows is way too much... ( the elbows may be good, I am just not used to elbows - difficult to "read" them ).

Did the vet have a reson to do the x-rays like this, or does OFA not ask for a special angle?
