offa for the xray of the patella

Is anyone starting to use this xray/clearances for their breeding program?

Re: offa for the xray of the patella

It is a manual exam conducted by the attending veterinarian...not an xray.

Re: offa for the xray of the patella

Is it your vet or a orthopedic specialist? Do you get certified by then and the offa? Not sure,sorry... I just heard of a breeder doing it with their breeding program,just wanted some imput? maybe price, restriction before examing process.What are they checking for anyhow?

Re: offa for the xray of the patella

Any vet can do the exam. It's usually part of the regular physical any vet does on the dog. I just print the form from the OFA site and bring it along on a regular visit and my vet signs it (no extra charge.)
