3. Where should the measurement be taken for a caudocranial view oCthe tibia and fibula?

Middle of the fibula

Level of stifle joint

Distal fibula

Distal femur

4. When radiographing the pelvis in a lateral position, which femur should be slightly more cranial?

The limb farthest from the cassette
