ish Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You won't be able to have those X-rays scored through the German Shepherd club scheme as you need to have the paperwork prior to having the X-rays done, and the form number noted on the X-ray. Ray ferguson at Monash vet clinic in Melbourne can score them if you arrange to send him a digital copy, I'm not sure who else to suggest. They do look like good hips to me, though I'm no expert.

Rappie Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 On 08/11/2013 at 11:03 AM, Vurd2BB said: I had some feedback from someone i emailed with the scans, they look pretty good, was the comment. "Her hips and elbows are fairly good. The hips - the right hip is just slightly shallow and just slightly loose - nothing to worry about, the left hip has a very slight thickening of the cranial acetabular edge, again nothing to worry about, her elbows are normal. There is a calcinosis ( calcium deposit next to one elbow - again not an issue, won't cause any lameness etc. Her hips would probably score around 6-8 on the right and 4-5 on the left. The pass mark for the "A" stamp is a maximum of 8 points in total with no more than 3 points in any one area. Certainly would not be concerned about either of her hips or elbows as a long term issue," Out of curiosity what is the background of the person giving that comment?

Vurd2BB Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 The person who has commented on the x-rays is a well known person in the GSD community in NSW. Don't want to say too much in case the person doesn't want that, sorry. You can PM me if you like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ish Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 He doesn't work every day but I'm sure if you call the clinc they can arrange things for you http://www.monashvet.com.au/contact-us/ You will have to contact your breeder or your state canine control body (dogs NSW etc) for a copy of your dogs papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no particular interest in who, was jut wondering whether they were comments from a breeders or someone with a veterinary background.

Vurd2BB Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Fair enough, It was from someone with a Vet background, who is very involved with hip dysplaysia, well at least i think so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianca.a Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Ray Ferguson is great, he is involved with Pennhip scoring. And yes you did read right, he said if he was scoring Coops hips they would be in the 80-90 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianca.a Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Actually I have no idea. His new hip should technically be damn close to perfect. However I have no need to know his scores (he was going to be my IPO dog but now that's not going to happen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
