Yesterday we took Hazel to be Hip and Elbow scored!
We recently started attending a new vet and he has been wonderful with our dogs and this was our first experience with hip and elbow scoring, we’ve learned quite a lot.
Given Hazel is a slightly older bitch than what you’d normally score at, we’re quite happy with the results.
Hazel scored an even 4 on each hip for a total of 8. For our friends over in Europe, this translates to A grade hips, for our friends in America this translates to good grade hips.
Hazels elbows were also both graded a 0.
With this, Hazel’s health testing is almost completed! Last on the list and soon to come, gonioscopy + eye certification.
