Should I worry about my Lab puppy if mom's elbow score is 1?

Question

Hi, I've recently bought a Labrador pup they've got good hip scores but dads elbow score is 0 and mums is 1? Is it anything to panic about will my adored pup suffer? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 19 years and 2 months old | 13 lbs

There is nothing you can do about the scoring now. I personally would not be worried about it. All you an do at this point is wait until the puppy is old enough and get him x-rayed to see if he has any dysplasia. A score of 1 from one parent does not mean the offspring will be affected. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.
