Lord love a duck....where do you live? That is unbelieveable! Our Vet does hips/elbows (computerized) and does them awake... sends in the x-rays....all for $200.00. And no BS about exams and lab work.

I have a GSD that I want to x-ray hips/elbows on, so I called my vet who I have been dealing with for 10 + years to ask for a quote for OFA x-rays well I was shocked to learn that x-rays were $461 plus a check up at $75, oh and it also was their suggestion that I run blood work at another $300 to make sure she is healthy enough to be put under for x-rays, (excuse me but this is a healthy 2 year old) oh and than the cost of the OFA itself is on top of that. Have a nice day, take care, Lonna Lonna Fisher Sunflower Reg'd GSD Edmonton, AB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
