Hi, Leanne,
You know this is my single biggest objection to OFA. I really prefer
to use one single clinician to evaluate for any testing. (It is one
reason I jumped up and down for years about elisa tests in general;
"blue" is different to each reader). My own vet is wonderful at
positioning and she is working on my whole breeding program. I now do
OFA because there does need to be a standard somewhere. However, my vet
is tougher on readings than OFA; I tend to trust her input more.
Thanks, once again, for providing us with these abstracts!
