Emma's radiography appointment was November 15, 2012.

PennHIP received these x-rays November 19, 2012 with the report date November 26, 2012.

DI scores = (Left) 0.36 / (Right) 0.41
No Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) or Cavitations on either hip.

Laxity Profile Ranking = 70th percentile with the median @ 50th percentile.
This (ranking) indicates Emma's passive hip laxity (DI) in relation to all canine animals of the English Shepherd breed in PennHIP 's database. This result means that 1.) Emma's hips are tighter than approximately 70% of this group of animals (alternatively, 30% of the group has tighter hips than Emma), and 2.) Emma's hip laxity is in the tighter half of the laxity profile.
