I just wasted a lot of money on bad xrays. I wish I would have seen your eBook sooner.
Full Question:
Hi,I was recently sent your eBook by a friend. I have recently started breeding standard poodles. I went to get their hips checked and came away with some bad films. In my ignorance I thought I had to take the films. I thought if I, an amateur, can see that the dog is not straight surely the OFA can as well. I was told by the OFA to go to a different vet and get the x-rays done again. Well, now I am out the $150.00 for the first x rays and the $150.00 for the second x-rays. Not to mention my poor babies have to be put under yet AGAIN!
On my website I am trying to put info on what to get your dog tested for. I wish that I had known about your eBook BEFORE I had taken my dogs to get x rayed. I wanted to see if I could get your permission to add a link to your ebook on my web site. The link I would add is:
http://www.leerburg.com/pdf/hipplacementforxrays.pdf
My web site is www.jrayspartistandardpoodles.com (it is a work in progress)
Thanks for the info on hips and for your time.
Blessings,
Denise

We recommend printing the hip article and taking it with you to the vet, if you have any question in your mind about whether the vet understands positioning.
Depending on where you live, there are vets who are not only great at taking hip films, but they do so without anesthesia. We drive about an hour to Stillwater, MN to get all of our dogs xrayed now. We get to help get the dog settled on the xray table, and we are in and out in about ½ hour. I HATE needlessly putting dogs under anesthesia so it’s worth the drive for us.
We don’t allow our articles to be copied on a website, but you may certainly add a link.
Best of luck to you and your dogs.
