This is a 35 month old female that I had hips done on. Would like to know what everyone thinks.

Thanks

They should have pulled the left leg down a little more. The right hip looks great, the left should have been pulled into the socket better by pulling more on the left leg. They should pass, fair or good. VS GSD

Thanks Pam, The vet said they should get a score too so I am hoping. After 6 xrays ( could not get all the information in on three and then it was the position problems) and 2 hours later this was the best.

I saw how the positioning can really make a difference in the hips after all this.

Even if the position is not optimal you should get a good rating on those hip..They look pretty good to me ;)

You must have been so frustrated 2 hours to get 1 decent x-ray. I know how you must have felt a vet that I used once took about 10 x-rays the dog was anesthetized for over 2 hours and took another 2 hours to wake up. I chose 3 that were only ok. The dog did get a pass but I never went back to that vet.
Learned a big lesson since then I travel 2 hours where they take 1 and get it right the first time, the whole procedure took
30 minutes from sedation to waking up.

Yes they look just fine. Good Luck.

Thanks everyone. I am going nuts here :) I hate this part. you wait and wait and hope and pray ........sigh.... and wait some more.

I hope she does good. Time will tell. :)

And yes I was a little frustrated as the vet that was helping the vet tech had never did a "OFA before" so I was dammed if I was going to walk out of there with some of the xrays I had seen. But I understand everyone has to learn some how.

Is it just me or is there some issue with the left (as I look at the computer screen) femoral head? It appears to have a large "dip" in it.

Results came back and she is FAIR . Boy this was very quickly on the results.

Two hours to get xrays?

That's just ridiculous.....sorry, I worked as a tech, and it should take that long at all and not that many shots either.   Two shots at most maybe......

My male was hard to get straight, but still only two shots and that was me just being picky!   Long and lanky boy.....

Heck I xrayed my older femaled by myself under anesthesia and it was a perfect shot.

Are the techs in the xray room doing the positioning?

I know that in some states, people are not allowed in the room with the animal....
