Well fortunately for me I have never ever had the occasion to have to have a dog Xrayed for injury, or possible obstruction and certainly would never Xray to find out the number of whelps a bitch is expecting - I use my hands for that. But to answer your question yes it does involve a day when I include travelling time - a full day as the vet I use will not release the dog until it is fully recovered from the GA Of course the vets can Xray what ever they like when they like - there is no restrictions . However as the positioning of the dog is important for submitting films to the BVA I prefer to use a vet who regularly does this. I am more than aware exactly what the procedure is for taking Xrays - I worked for many years as an orthopaedic theatre sister and ward sister so well used also to viewing Xrays ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura Trunk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [CKCS-L] Another question
