Little Lady

Why shouldn't xrays for hips/elbows be done around the Little Ladies season? TQ

Re: Little Lady

Because there is some question as to whether or not a season causes laxity in the structures around the pelvis. Xraying at times other than season removes that "reason" for poor structure on films.

You should also avoid the 9th week after her prime breeding window. Regardless of the fact if she was bred or not, the ligaments are lax just due to hormone changes in general.
