Who do any of you use for your health testing and checking the hips/elbows. I have been looking at Paw Print Genetics for health testing but not sure if I need both panels or just one. If just one which one? Looking for somewhere close to Brandon/Jackson Mississippi area. This is my first Lab and getting ready to do all of his testing. He will be 2 December 2.

Most vets will do hips/elbow x-rays and submit them to be graded. Some vets may be better than others, and I am not familiar with the Vets in that area. While you have him at the vet, they should be able to do the swab to test for EIC and other tests for CNM. You should be able to knock it all out in one visit but it's going to get pretty pricey pretty quick. I would recommend Dr. Payne in Oxford, MS to perform these services or feel free to give him a call and get his opinion on things. He will point you in the right direction and provide assistance if you need any.
