I was shocked to hear the amount of $300.00 . Is this the going price? Here in Rockland, NY the Vet. Prices are worst then a DR. Fred & Donna Velten Vom Haus Velten German Shepherds If a vet is using anesthesia, (blood work prior) and doing hips and elbows, that's fair on the East Coast. OFA gets, what $35? For an extra 5 dollars and a request in writing, they'll mail back your x-rays. It's not on their new forms, so you have to make a point of remembering. If you can find a vet that doesn't use anesthesia, you'll pay considerably less. Kathy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
