I have had problems with one guy at Murdoch who does the Pennhip for them.

But one of our last Lappies was xrayed there as they can now score them too. It was just done through the radiology department rather than through one of the orthopaedic vets and we didn't have a problem :)

Thanks Mirawee, I just called them and they quoted me $500, does that seem normal? Were you able to claim through your pet insurance?

I highly doubt you will be able to claim it - unless you dog is limping and it's diagnostic.

$500 sounds fair, especially if it includes scoring.

Olivebaby, the last time I had a dog xrayed for hips & elbows was two years ago. I had it done at Applecross Vet & cost around $260.00 At that time Prof Wyburn was still doing assessments and it cost $100 for that. I don't know how much it is these days for the reading or who you would have to send it to, but the Vet Clinic usually does.

It is not claimable on insurance.

Which one should come to WA?
Awwwww gorgeous :love: I vote for the second from the right :D

The one without a head in the first picture? :rofl:

Pups are very cute Mirawee!! I couldn't pick they are all too cute. :)

I can't pick coz you can't see them well enough :rofl: I will wait until I see photos once they can walk :p And then I will let the breeder decide anyway ;)

I'm just surprised they aren't marked or have collars! I could only tell 3/6 without their ribbons on (two because of white chest markings and 1 because it was a girl!)

Wow Mirawee I think you should have one of both colours - bit like a hand bag where you can mix and match rofl1.gif

I had hips and elbows done at Applecross in 2011, and sat in the waiting room while they were done. From memory it was just over $500 for 2 dogs. I sent the x-rays to Rawlinson in South Australia as Wyburn was no longer reading x-rays.
