Hi, Dude had a double TPO here is my take: PROS: I am glad I did because if the other side gets worse you may not be able to have the TPO done on the other...
It is a tough call. My lab, Ranger, had the surgeries separately, she was already showing signs of lameness at 8 months and obviously in pain since she was not...

Karen, I would get the 2nd opinion. TPO's in the states, at least in IA are under a patent and only authorized vets can perform them. Ranger's 1st surgery was...
Karen, This is just my personal experience and opinion, so take it as such. When Casey was diagnosed at 7 months, she was deemed not an ideal candidate for...
The Dr. said that she is healing fine but her left hip seems looser than the right. He thinks with muscle growth, she will be fine. She can go on 20-30...

Thanks so much everyone for the encouragement and advice. Things have been pretty stressful here, which is why I haven't been posting. In the past week I have...
Karen, you have a lot on your plate but you have the right attitude! My brittany was 12 and suffered from a collapsed layrnx (which is why I use a halti/gentle...
Hi Karen, My advice on walking (and I do a lot with my TPO dog) is let them tell you how much to walk. Exercise is good for them because they need muscles to...
Thanks so much Diana My local vet didn't know about darthroplasty and the Adelaide specialist I saw didn't mention it. But I will phone her on Monday and ask. ...
Thank you so much Mary I really appreciate the emails I am getting from such generous and caring women on this list. My life is consumed with veterinary issues...
... Hang in there Karen! I know it is awful. My life did, and still does seem so consumed by the HD puppy but it does get better. I think we just start...
Karen, I totally understand how this is all consuming and eventually we do get to the point of just dealing with it. It seems my entire winter was spent...
Well... the boy is doing awesome, they can't believe the turn around in him. I really think that when I "took the bull by the horns" and got proactive and...
Stacy, fabulous fabulous news! Ranger still bunny hops she is just starting to widen her stride but still uses both at the same time. I need to have her...
Stacy- What great news. I have been quiet lately too but reading everything. Glad to hear of the improvement. Way to go Nikko! Our Annie is now 1.5 years...

Ranger's 1st surgery was Oct '06, her 2nd was the end of Dec. Her 1st TPO was completed on the side she was already showing lameness on. This is the surgery...
My dogs hips continued to crunch and crack after the TPO's. I addressed it with the surgeon who thought it was no big deal. I guess he was right because True...
I am assuming they did the re X-ray on Ranger post op to make sure all was well??? Stacy Hopkins ************************************** See what's free at...
The consult vet said that there is something wrong with his spine and that his dog food was not giving him the nutrients it needs, so we are putting him on...
Hi Mary, I have been wondering how Ranger is. Dude still has subluxation after his TPO, his x-rays look perfect but as the orthopedic surgeon said the x-rays...
