(1) Male looks good

(2) Is not straight and would like to see my right sitting better in the socket.

(3) Positioning is horrible body is twisted left leg looking at screen is not rotated enough
- would ask vet for re xray

Though I am not that good at assessing xrays.

Good luck

i agree the 1 looks good but the other 2 i would ask for better positioning as you can see their tails are to the side and they are cocked alittle bit to the side with the hip the dogs where probably struggleing with the techs.

You need a vet who can take better films, IMO.

I think all are not great - I guess all will pass with Fair or get borderline/mild. Short thick necks, and rough edges, shallow sockets in all of them. Crooked x-rays too doesn't help for sure.

Male l - fair, female 2 - fair, female 3 - mild-modersate positioning not good but may have been all they could get. BOL Nan

PS: are 2 year olds littermates, just curious??

Do you use anesthesia or sedation? I would retake them with someone more experienced at doing hip Xrays and resubmit them and pray they come back better.

The first one, xray looks okay. The other 2 my Vet would have retaken and thrown those in the trash.. Sorry being very honest. They are both very poor.

Yes, I agree with everyone else. The last one especially is horrible positioning IMO. I would of never accepted those x rays let alone paid for them. I'm not sure if you are present when they take the x rays or not. If not, demand to go back and watch them take the x rays and inspect them to make sure the positioning is correct and you are happy with them.

on a 3rd one...is that a tip of her tail on left side?

by Ryanhaus on 08 July 2011 - 21:07

No Anesthesia,

the first two are first cousins and the last one already has ofa good pre-limb.

and yes the last pic, that's her tail, not a third leg...she did not want to lay on her back....
