Two qualified PennHIP and AVA certified specialists are available in-house. Dr. Richard Eaton-Wells and Dr. Jason Beck have been providing this specific service for several years.
A variety of clients ranging from government services, non-profit organisations to statewide breeders utilise this service in an attempt to minimise hip dysplasia and elbow disease in their canines.
The procedure requires the animal to be admitted for a general anaesthetic and it is essential that the animal be fasted from midnight before the testing.
Pedigree papers need to be provided on or before the day as the information forms part of the X-Ray. For more specific information contact Practice Manager, Derek Smith on 07 3359 0777.
For more general information on PennHIP’s an online brochure is available. AVA hips and elbows also have an online brochure.
