OFA Without Anesthesia

The following is a list of veterinarians who have x-rayed large dogs for OFA certification without anesthesia. Please note, that in order for a dog to be x-rayed in the required position the dog must be controllable and able to relax on its back - so training is important.

If you know of another such vet please e-mail me the following information: vet's name, name of practice, address, phone number, your name, weight of your dog when x-rayed, and indicate whether are not you are willing to be listed as a reference.

Check out the following article by Robin Smith DVM. How To Choose A Veterinarian For Your Mastiff. It contains lots of good information about using anesthesia in mastiffs.

You can find an extensive list of veterinarians on the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) web site at http://www.acvim.org/.
