Stacey, How is Mac doing with confinement? Is he from working lines? My dog "was" in Schutzhund trainging, and is very high drive, and I'm not sure how well he...
... Depends. Most of the time, yes. He walks normally at a steady walking-on-lead pace. When he races the other dogs up the hill he sometimes bunny hops, it...
... At 8 months your little guy shouldn't be doing much more than working the puppy tug in SchH and doing some limited obedience exercises. Anything beyond...
... We used Tramadol as a pain reliever. Tramadol has some narcotic properties and we used it for the 1st 10 days post-op. We both were able to arrange our...
Since ya'all have experience with this, what questions would you recommend I ask a surgeon at MU during his evaluation of my dog for TOP surgery? Thanks for...
Some of the questions we asked our surgeon: How many of these surgeries has he done? Is he tracking his former patients? If so, how old is his oldest patient ...
Thanks for your help, Anka. There are not enough hours in the day for me to do the researcvh I need to get done, I appreciate you taking time out of yours to...
Hi there~ My dog, Jersey, just passed his 8 week eval after his TPO and everything looks fantastic. Some questions to ask that were beneficial for me, in...
Hello Vanessa, I am in the same boat as you, and found this group to be very helpful. I found a good read at the CannineHD group titled Long-term outcome of...
She runs extremely well. Her muscles have grown. She runs, jumps, and tussles with her brother. To watch her you'd never know she had anything wrong with her....
During the lengthy search for TPO surgery for Bleu my Weimar I found a site called www.mypoordog.com it is owners histories with their dogs including TPO, FHO,...
Thanks Jack. Our golden, Jersey, already had a TPO on his right him but his left is too far gone so the only options are hip replacement and FHO. Our ortho...
I don't know if having one hip with a TPO and one with a FHO makes a difference in the gait. Did you get a reason why he/she feels the gait would be off.. and...
Because of the cutting off of the ball and tying the muscle around it, the gait is said to be off because it's missing the ball. One leg will/could be...
Hi - My working Kelpie was admitted to have TPO on his left hip at 8.5 months (which is how I came to find this group - thanks for the info so far ... The...
As a last resort my GSD was on both Acepromazine and Tramadol. The Ace alone did nothing for him. He's pretty high drive and has a very high pain tolerance so...
All I can say is wow ... Dieter got a clean bill of health from his Eval! The xrays at MU were much clearer than those at my vet ... and his hips looked good. ...
Happy, happy! X-rays don't always tell the full story. We must look at the whole dog and the symptoms s/he presents, not just radiographs which can vary ...

Hi all, I'm reading old posts to gain more perspective and was wondering... Has anyone used Chiropractic care on their dogs with HD either before of after or...
Hi Gail The problem with TPO is that there is a very short period of time when it can be done. Often by the time the diagnosis is available then the surgery ...
Wait to get the second opinion from another Ortho vet before you put yourself through the ringer. This is a very tough decision to make. The trouble is, you...
Hi, We adopted two flat-coated retrievers from the local shelter. It turned out that both had dysplasia in both hips. They were about 8 months old at the time....
So sorry your pup is having problems! Our Annie was xrayed while she was sedated for a spay. I had no idea there were problems but just wanted to make sure...
