Well, I little bit of good news. I just had to ask OFA what the coverage percentages are for passing hips. The ortho surgeon's report says Luger's left...
Wow this is good news. I can see why you are so undecided about surgery. I wish you luck and please let us know. For me I would do the surgery but I want to...
Hello, everyone. I am new to the group and have joined because my 7 month old Border Collie, Lafitte, is scheduled for his TPO on January 9th. He has is...
Hey Alison, Your vet is right, they do adapt. Nikko, my Australian Shepherd was a very bouncy guy...he had his first hip done in August and the second one...
Here's a list of toys that are supposed to occupy dogs during their down time. I've seen some of these at PetsMart but I've never heard of some others: Twist...
Alison, Here is the list of post op supplies from another list I belong to... There are so many "things" one can purchase to make your pet feel comfortable...
... So True! Dude was getting wise to the pill hide in the treat so what I do now (he is still on antibiotics) is hide the pill in a treat when he finished it...
... These are very similar to all of the things I did with Dude post op. I can tell you working with the dog maintains a great training relationship. These...
Hi, I would get a ramp. Makes life easy. I would also get the ramp pre op and let the dog get used to it. I used puzzle mats on the floor for a good surface....
I try to give Ranger special treats to meet her chewing needs and since she is sooo bored in the kennel. Cow hooves are fantastic, but my house smells like a...
Oh Mary, that is infuriating... they should know these things in the pet stores, my gosh. Everything will be fine, just watch Ranger for any problems with...
Thanks Stacy, I will keep an eye on her. Not that it is difficult to keep track since I still sling her, kinda hard not to watch. LOL! Ohhh Petco is not going...
Have you tried the bully stix or the macho stix with Ranger yet? They work for Koda the chewaholic! Stacy Hopkins [Non-text portions of this message have...
Hi Mary, Made the same mistake with Dude. If you would have posted the question I could have told you :-} He did fine just a bit of an upset tummy, but Dude...
Hi all, Just a question. Dude had the bone infection and had his surgery 3 weeks ago to remove the plate. They did have to chip at some bone to get the plate...
Those thin sticks? Do they eat them? I have seen them, but was afraid they would not last 5 minutes. I have really long ones. Let me know, maybe I will pick...
Thanks Diana, Ranger does not seem the least bit phased by eating an almost foot long solid bone! I think she has digested much worse...still searching for my...
I have posted before and this is my 2nd dog that has had TPO surgery. She is 2 years old and by the age of 1 had completed double TPO's 6 weeks apart. Final...
Ouch, that is a tough one! I would question the ortho on why in one visit it is soft tissue and now all of sudden, they feel it isn't? Great news on the hips...
Oh Chris, this is really a bummer to hear about Maya. Poor girl, hopefully the alignment will have made her feel a bit better. I don't have anything...
Well......I have taken Ranger out 4 times in a 2 hour period and she has pooped approximately 8 times (once on her way out the door). I gave her a hoof this...
I had to take Nikko in today... he has been dragging the foot so much and toeing over that he dragged himself raw. And the lymph node behind the knee is up...
Chris, first, I'm sorry Maya is having problems. I recently had x- rays taken on Casey for other issues, and her x-rays showed spinal calcification as well....
Stacy, I am sure you are paying for each visit you are making to this surgeon. I would suggest you consult with another. I would not accept that Nikko's...
... I had this under a different topic so I will copy it here. I am going to wait until the end of January so see how he progresses because I may be expecting...
Thank you Diana... I wonder if there is anything like that down here in South Florida. I have been trying to find some on the web, but to no avail! I will...
