Here are some of the tests: the pair is tested for PRA which must be done by an opthamologist and then you will receive a CERF number.
LP if present should be assessed and graded by an othopaedic surgeon
Xrays OFA;d for hips and elbows.
BATS done for LS
Some ppl do heart, thryoid and a hyperurocosuria genetic test.
I'm sure prior to breeding that you found out about the health history of the lines, and thus have a good understanding of the incidence of any of the above conditions.
I wish you a safe whelp |
This seams like logical and great advice.. I would like to ask an off topic question.. sorry op..but maybe the answer will help you too
you said

I had my Remy checked.. the vet said no lp all was well. Is that enough or should I go to an othopaedic surgeon to-- I don't have any reasons to think she has lp..
Thanks
