Health Testing…
Monday, January 26th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Back in December I bought a holter moniter from Alba Medical for my dogs. Knowing that they are in good health is really important to me. Alba Medical - Canine Holter Moniter
So far I have holtered Piper and Rommel.
I got Piper’s results back very quickly! She only had one pre-mature heartbeat in a twenty four hour period. Excellent result for a four year old boxer girl.
But boy didn’t I feel like a retard when I got the email that Rommel’s tape had nothing on it! Yes, that is correct…blank. Some dum-dum (me) didn’t start the recording, so it has to be re-done. 
I plan to re-do Rommel’s holter test next week. I am going to Ziris at that time as well.
I took Ziris last Thursday and had her hips and elbows x-rayed. We sent off Hips, Elbows & Patella’s to OFA. Everything looked great, so we are just waiting to get the results back from OFA.
I also got my vWd test kits in the mail from VetGen. I know that Brownie is Clear by parentage. (Both parents were clear) but I wanted it on file anyway. You never know. So…I sent off DNA on Rommel, Ziris & Brownie. Hopefully I will get their vWd results back soon.
Guess that is about it for now. I am waiting on Friday to come out of heat so that she can be spayed.
Hopefully I can report good health testing results very soon!
