Hello. please could I have some advice on my dogs cT scans? I have a 9 month old lab who intermittently limps on his left leg. We got these ct scans which confirms elbow dysplacia but I would like to know a little bit more and a second opinion please. Going by the scans Does his elbow dysplacia look quite mild or severe ? we are trying conservative management first. 11C0ACA4-3BEF-414F-8117-42D5DAE6C8FD03152566-33F7-4693-97B8-6051F47E0093

Hello!  I'm afraid that we don't give second opinions based on imaging.  You have paid for your vets time in reading these scans;  they will have examined your dog, spent significant time in trying to read the situation properly for you and I cannot give a comparable answer based on a computer image alone.   If you truely feel that you cannot rely on your vets' opinion in this matter, the best thing is to ask them to refer the case to a specialist;  they will send their examination findings and the scans so that it can be done in a proper manner.   Furthermore, with radiographs at least, it is nigh-on impossible to tell the severity of the signs from the scan results, for a variety of reasons.  This really needs to be assessed in relation to the dog.
