Step by Step for hip xrays - Page 1

I am taking my 7 month old pup to the vet tomorrow for a check up and wanted to have him try the prelim xrays. I remember reading thru a post once that gave a breakdown guide for vets to go by. DOes anyone have that link or page?

NM I found it on the OFA website.

Now does anyone have a good xray example I can print out to make sure they know what the end results should look like? I want to make sure we get this done right the first time around. This vet will do the xrays but will not guarantee them. I want to be sure that he has all of the info to get a good first shot and a visual always helps.

Talk to Dragon GSD

Here is what my vet suggests. He is a specialised orthopaedicts vet (The Ohio State Veterinary College) and a member of the IEWG. And, yes, he is in Greece.

That's interesting, always wondered how they used "equipment" to position.  In NJ the techs are allowed to be in xray with the sedated animal to take the xray.  I know that in some states that's not allowed.
