Hi All -
 
I need a little help here.
 
About a month ago, my 15 month old pup, decided to launch herself over my two 
rows of lawn bags while chasing a ball. She came up lame. We did crate rest and 
some asprin and she was fine within a few days. Now she is lame again on the 
same shoulder. She is very fit, sound on both ends, hasn't grown for quite a 
while and is kept lean.
 
I have her scheduled for a radiograph tomorrow morning.
 
My questions are:
1. What is the most common age for OCD? I have only seen it once in dals and 
that was a 4 - 5 month old pup.
2. Should I put her under to do the radiograph or let her be awake - I do hips 
without anesthesia and have never had a problem.
3. I hadn't plan to do prelims for hips and elbows, but am thinking I might do 
it now.. What is everyone's opinions... I certainly wouldn't make a special 
trip to do it, but since she is already going in for radiographs..
 
Looking forward to answers...or maybe not.... I hate to think that it might 
have been my fault..
