This is all so confusing.  I don't understand how a dog can be pronounced as
having  DJD and then after several years & re-x-raying there is no trace of 
Degeneration - this is really a shame because there may be stud dogs and
bitches that are never used due to this diagnosis that could have been 
Dominate for some of the physical attributes needed in the breed. Also there
are select dogs and bitches that are eliminated from the AOE award that 
Have everything else to quality.

Had a similar experience.
Had a bitch years ago that our Vets  ( who X-rayed many OFA dogs)  thought 
would clear OFA easily.  Came back as DJD on one elbow.   Had several Vets
read the X-ray including UCDavis, and the only thing they could figure out
that made OFA unhappy was that there was a tiny slight "pimple" looking bump
about 2 inches down from the joint on her leg bone.  
Nowhere NEAR the joint!  The joint was fine!
( why they called that DJD is beyond our Vets and our understanding )   
With the DJD the co owner spayed her....and worked her in heavy Agility 
competition till she was almost 10 yrs.    
Had her re-X-rayed at 6 yrs...NO changes.

Years ago I had a bitch that had pano when she was older, almost 2 years. I
took her to an orthopedic specialist and was diagnosed as pano. When it came
time to OFA she came back with DJD on one elbow.  Once she got through the
pano she never limped again. For some reason she was x-rayed around 6 and
the vet said the shading was there in the elbow but it pretty much looked
the same as when she was 2. So if it's called Degenerative Joint Disease it
sure didn't change in 4 years.
