Hip X-Rays - Page 1

Hi Folks
have had the x-rays done and sent away for evaluation.  What do the experts here think?  Vet said he couldn't get his legs exactly straight over the knees - I noticed the left leg seems to be in different position but that apart what's the verdict.  I have my fingers crossed ( and toes)

Fair to mild.... the one is not in very tight. Since there is no L/R marker visable I can only say, when looking at it face on, it's on the right. The other one doesn't have that much coverage either, but is in nice and far...

Hi djc
That is his left leg.  Could that be attributed to the position of the dog when being x-rayed?

Hopefully, fair, but I would like to see the femur head a little deeper in the socket, particularly left side and a little tighter on the left side also, right side (our left side of screen) a little better but same applies.  Best of luck  Nan

PS:  Did you send in to SV for evaluation or OFA?

Hi, am in UK so sent in to BVA.  I am so worried :(  - I just want my boy to be healthy. 

Well really I don't think you are going to have a problem with his performance any way the grading comes out.  They look pretty fair to me and you have to realize to get a good or however they are graded in your country, they need to be impecible almost.  So as far as working hips I do not see a problem with these.  But whatever you do with him, always remember to warm him up first just like any athlete would and keep him lean for his entire life;  I really like the muscle that the raw diet provides for these dogs which until 2 years ago I did not see when I fed my guys kibble dog food so that might be something for you to think about with this guy.  His muscle tone is what can HELP to keep these hips strong.  Best of luck with him  Nan

Thanks Nan,
I am training for working trials  - no jumping yet but he seems to have no problem with his hips after his training or during play.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I had one almost identical to this and got a Fair in OFA, USA.
Wish you the best with your results.
Weezy.
