Here in the US, you can anesthetize or not... personally, I prefer not... yes, there are some who feel it gives a less accurate reading (makes the hips look tighter than they are), but I get to go into the xray room and help hold my dog, relax them and make it a pleasant and less risky procedure.
Even without anesthesia, you can clearly see the depth of the acetabulum, shape of the femoral head, etc... the only thing that cannot be evaluated as clearly is laxity...

I think it depends.. I'm almost 100% certain that PennHIP method requires anesthesia as the required scans ask the legs to be rotated to an uncomfortable position.

First, thanks to all of you for your answers. Tomorrow it is I go to the veterinarian to test. I do not know what type of medicament it uses. It seems to be that in order that not of mistake the dog has to be totally relaxed especially because for some to come to the clinic supposes very much stress. For telephonic conversation I believe that it is an anesthesia and not relaxing.

PennHip = anesthesia mandatory, OFA = not mandatory (though usually used), part of the reason some people question it's reliability, since not all tests are performed with the same controls

Yesterday we went to the test and there has been luck, is "A", in hip and elbows. Primeramente injected a tranquilizer and later general anesthesia and him entubaron. What if it was late enough is to spend the effects of the anesthesia, when I went away to the bed had happened 2 hours since they woke him up and still seguia without being able to walk correctly and slept way.
