Use the following case study to answer the following questions:   Partner, a two‐year‐old German Shepherd, comes to your clinic with lameness. The clinic is accredited by AAHA. The owners had noticed an abnormal gait in the past couple of weeks after a trip to the dog park. Upon P/E Partner wasn’t ambulatory. The doctor notes bilat. weakness in the rear limbs. There is slight atrophy of the rear leg muscles. To rule out an ACL tear the DVM checks anterior drawer signs. If there’s an ACL rupture, then a TPLO would be necessary due to the dog’s size. Anterior drawer sign was normal so PROM is checked next. The vet notices that the ® coxofemoral joint has a decreased ROM so radiographs are ordered. Osteitis is ruled out and Partner is diagnosed with hip dysplasia. The femoral head isn’t aligned with the acetabulum so a TPO is performed to correct the problem. Three weeks later Partner returns for PT, and he seems far more energetic. The RVT takes him to the back to begin his hydrotherapy. All the techs in the clinic are members of NAVTA. Question: What couldn’t Partner do when he was examined?
