Quite frankly I have never heard of a 5 1/2 month old pup being diagnosed

any problems. Has anyone else?
Sure, that's why we prelim. Dogs don't always exhibit discomfort at an
early age w/ CHD, if they did we wouldn't need to spend all the money we do on
x-rays.
You ask "As the breeder what simply amazes me is the clients over-reaction -
first it
was 5 1/2 month old puppy - then the right hip subluxating when he was
rolled over during surgery, then it was the left hip had a flat femoral
head, then it was 100% sure he would be in the future dysplastic... which is
it?"
Actually, it may or may not be all of it. The first vet noticed an issue w/
the right hip, (a hip isn't supposed to come out of the socket when the dog
is being rolled over after all), the vet took x-rays, (thank heavens, some
don't, so at least somebody has a few brain cells connected), after looking at
the x-rays the left hip is now also a cause for concern and the vet sent the
x-rays off to another vet for evaluation.
As for "over-reaction" from the owners, hey, they love their dog. I'd send
the x-rays in to the OFA and see what you have, take new pictures if you must
or if you dispute the quality of the positioning, but I wouldn't be too hard
on the owners re their concern. They have three vets now telling them they
very well may have issues. They just might.
