What do these xrays tell you? - Page 1

Got a copy of the hip x-rays on my dog.  My normal vet is out of town.  Vet I dealt with today says mild dysplasia.  He's 13 months old.  Any hope they will get better?  How bad do they look?

the dog is not positioned right... need a repeat

n

Very bad picture   your gonna have to re copy it and repost  cant tell

That's without a doubt the poorest hip xray I've ever seen and it tells me that you need a new vet.  My guess is the dog is OK.

 bad exposure,bad positioning. Wait for your regular vet to take the picture.  The dog might be fine. Worst x-ray I have ever seen. 

Where do vets like this one get their training? I hate to think how many dogs are considered dysplastic based on a xray like this one.  Shameful..............

Ditto to all replies above! Geez did you have to pay for that?

You dont take a vets word for it anyway....we can give you an opinion and opinions dont count....we are not radiologists....vets are not either and I have seen and had     many  ,,many a vet say oh  , they look good to me     bull corn......

and tell the client ....oh your dogs ok......yeah right.....maybe and maybe not.....doesnt matter whether the dog is limping or not in pain,,,,,,we do a certified ofa because it is the qualifying factor in whether to continue hard training or to sell a dog, or to breed a dog.....

If you dont like OFA decision,,,you go to a well known hip exray vet , known in the Schutz community and retake the xray and resubmit....you may need to swim or feed a diet for the problem for 6 mos and then resubmit.....all kinds of cynerios.....

that radiograph looks like it is 20 years old and there is a ton of gunk on it!  Try again at a different vet!
