BAER TESTING
- $40.00 - BAER Test Form
BAER testing can be done on canines at least 35 days old.
The hearing test is known as the brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) or brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) detects electricalactivity in the cochle & auditory pathways in the brain. Bilateral hearing passes the test. Unilateral or bilateral deafness fails.

HEART SCREENING - $20.00 - HEART Screening Form
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.

THYROID--(plus lab cost) - $8.00 - THYROID Form
Dogs should not receive any type of thyroid supplementation for 3 months prior to thyroid testing.


MICROCHIP with INSERTION------------------------$20.00
