Opinions on prelim xrays - Page 2

If she's tattooed and registered with USA/SV she can have her hips certified in Germany with the "a" stamp at 12 months.  Otherwise, if it were me, I would wait until she's two at this point.  Because as others have said, there is no obvious signs of HD at this time.

Hope you didn't have to pay too much for this xray..............

Wait until she is at least 9 months old & have them redone by a vet that
that is familiar  with xraying for OFA pics,

but if you are just concerned with her having good hips to do Obedience with,
and you are not planning on breeding her,
 

Then, her hips look really good, don't waste anymore money, you have the xray you need,
and if you are looking to certify her and title her, depending on who you are going to use,
wait till she is 18 months to 2 years old, I'm no expert, but I personally would not be worried
about HD after looking at these xrays, yes, they are positioned bad, but they look pretty tight
in the sockets.

Check around for a vet who does them for the club members of breeders that do hips  .    I would keep puppy slim ,,no jumping and so some research about diet and excerising too much and how to keep pup in tow..till he is 24 months....

good point mirasmom!

Victoria, are you tring to say that the OFA vets read the x-ray wrong the first time or that the first vet took a bad x-ray and read it right or that Dr. Quick took a better x-ray or even further, that the OFA knows Dr. Quick thus giving his x-ray OFA excellent?

My opinion is the articular cartilage and femoral head look really good right there. Although with all these posts with rays on here, I do see a growth pattern. Does anyone else see it ?

Wow! That dog was sedated??? Why couldn't the vet get her straight in either picture?? I would ask for my money back, seriously, I doubt two xrays were cheap. Or have them redone. Did his uneducated techs do the films?? Looks like the film that is taken when you want to see the abdomin, not the hips. I would not be able to even guess good bad or ugly from this photo. 

Sorry......

If I took that picture, the vet that I work for would send my butt right back into the Xray room.  LOL 

I wouldn't even bother showing the vet the xray actually!  Sometimes weird stuff happens and what not. 

He did these himself and developed them himself. He had another set that were straighter but he left them to long in the developing solution ( his words) and they were to dark, really really dark. I am going to try to get over there tomorrow morning with my camera to get pics of these and the others.

Thank you for the information, no they were not cheap. He told me before hand he would not guarentee them so I guess that is his way of saying you get what I shoot.
