BAER testing can be done on canines at least 35 days old.
The hearing test is known as the brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER)

in the cochle & auditory pathways in the brain. Bilateral hearing
passes the test. Unilateral or bilateral deafness fails.

CARDIAC AUSCULTATION should be done with the animal standing & restrained,
but sedative drugs should be avoided. Panting must be controlled &
if necessary, the dog should be given time to rest 7 acclimate to the
environment. The veterinarian should able to identify the cardiac valve
areas for auscultation. The examiner should gradually move the stethoscope
across all valve areas & also should auscultate over the subaortic
area, ascending aorta, pulmonary artery, & the left craniodorsal cardiac
base. Following examination of the left precordium, the right precordium
should be examined.
PATELLAS
- $15.00 - PATELLAS Form
Patellar luxation is caused by congenital abnormality usually at the level
of the hip joint and results in abnormal forces on the kneecap, which
cause it to eventually ride outside of the groove. The groove becomes
very shallow and the attachment of the ligament of the patella may be
malpositioned on the tibia bone. If the patellar luxation occurs in mature
animals, the tibia and femur bones become twisted.
