... Thank you for taking the time to read my post and respond. They did a simultaneous bilateral TPO with Dude. Not common I know, but his surgeon is very...
Diana, I'm so sorry Dude is going through this. Your really sound on top of things and that makes all the difference in the world. Good luck for a speedy...
My rottie got abone infection from his TPO surgery. He is currently on anitibiotics and some pain management. They have put him back on kennel rest. He seems...
Diana...is he in a lot of pain? Poor baby, give him loves from us...thinking of you, keep us posted with his progress. Glad you're in his corner!!! Stacy...
... in his corner!!! Thanks to everyone who has followed this! My guess is he is not in too much pain when he is resting. He sleeps very well without pain...
Hi, I was told by both surgeons that if the bone is infected the plate needs to be removed. Very few times do 2 surgeons agree on anything but they both said...
They did a simultaneous bilateral TPO with Dude. Not common I know, but his surgeon is very good, we reviewed the films together, and decided it mutually. ...
... This is where the big issue is whith them. I do feel as though they should have taken the initial infection a bit more seriously, they did not. He did...
We brought Jonah home yesterday evening and he seems to be doing well. We've disovered that his crate is probably not big enough for him to be in comfortably...
... Thank you for thinking of me in your own time of surgery! I am glad to hear Jonah is doing well. The most difficult part is keeping them in the crate...
Glad to hear Jonah is doing so well. Fingers and paws crossed it's all good from here on out. <G>. Chris [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
How funny you should ask - he just peed on it a little while ago! We're still so nervous about walking him out of the house so we're super careful with using...
Must be the boys dogs that have the trouble peeing on the sling. Ranger doesn't even come close. Then again, I think she has a really long body. I also was...
... Don't even think about that yet. You will look back on the sling thing and laugh! I am so glad that part is over for us. My husband said he was counting...
When he is good he is really bad! (for lab owners they will know what I mean) :-) My HD dog is also a Lab, so I can totally relate. She was the best, calmest...
So, someone mentioned discussing the possibility of $ off the surgeries? Ranger, on her first TPO, that was on November 15th, they did an extra cut on one of...
... Hi Sally, I know what you mean. I was hoping it was because I trained him and socialized him but truth be told I think he was in pain too. How is your...
... Hi Mary, I can't speak to the discount because I am having difficulty myslef with that issue. I have a friend that had the TPO done for their dog and they...
Diana, since it is a teaching hospital there was a main surgeon and then the surgeon that I met with. The surgeon I met with is changing his rotation, probably...
... Hi Mary, I understand now. Sometimes there are no clear cut answers. Look at Christmas as being on the way to recovery. In spite of Dudes little setbacks...
Mary - just realize that we'll be going through Christmas the exact same way this year. If all goes well, I think they're going to want to do Jonah's left hip...
Zhan, it does help to know someone will be going thru the exact same thing at the exact same time. "If all goes well" seems to be the key phrase these days. My...
Mary, I would seriously ask for a discount off the 2nd surgery. Several years ago I let my then regular vet do an FHO on my GSD. To make a long story short, ...
Chris, thanks for the feedback, she did not require a 2nd surgery on the first hip, they did the first cut of the TPO and did not feel it was right. So they...
Mary, sorry I didn't understand the whole story. If it is a teaching hospital than maybe it was one of the students that didn't cut it right the first time. I...
Thanks Chris, and I agree. The fact that is a different surgical student this time makes it easier to say, "Hey, I want the main surgeon doing all of this next...
... =============== My guess is that you won't be highly successful in getting a discount on a TPO on the 2nd hip. I know people who have been able to get...
