digger Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 the last time i spoke to my vet she advised not only hip and eye scoring my bitch before breeding from her but elbow scoring as well.has any one else heard of this ? i was advised hip scoring has to be done when the dog is knocked out and i know the risks involved but i think the elbow score is an excuse for an xray and a large sum of my hard earned.
