well yeah they can see the groove in a different view. LOL it can just be a toss up sometimes.
what i learned from working with the surgeons is that some regular vets really don't know how to take the proper x-rays. we'd get some absolutely useless rads from RDVMs and would just have to retake them when the pet came to us.
personally i wouldn't worry about her knees so much right now. she's not showing a lot of signs. i'd put her on cosequin or something similar and just watch her. if you think its getting worse after some time then take her to an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and x-rays. they'd know best.
