- I have a 6 month old St. Bernard that had his first hip done on 12- 14. The first few days I thought there was no way I would be able to do this again. He...
... He cried and whinned for 72 hours straight. ==================================== Did he by any chance have a pain patch on during those 72 hours? Many ...
my GSD had a TPO on her worse hip (which was not so bad as to be a bad TPO candidate)when she was eight months old. she is nearly five now, and her other hip...
He didn't have a patch on him. He was given Tramadol 150mg every 8 hours and Dermaxx 75mg once a day. They said the reason he was acting like this was because...
just as with people, pain tolerance in dogs differs. i have read of many dogs crying and being miserable for many days after TPO. so i expected it with morgan,...
Thanks for the info. She is having surgery on 1/10/08. I talked to my regular vet and he said the same thing. Most dogs do well with having the one hip done....
i kind of put it into two stages -- the recovery and the rehab. the recovery -- those six long weeks during which she was on total activity restriction -- was...
sheesh. i just re-read my last post. i haven't made so many typos in one piece of writing since i was seven. that's what comes of trying to talk with my...

Zephan, I looked at your photos. Cute Cavaliers. Shadow looks quite a bit taller than Maggie, so maybe he's not as overweight as you think. Can you feel his...
Gracie is crate trained, so she will spend alot of time in the crate in our family room. I will have to block off the couches because she love to lay there...
the couch was an issue with morgan, too. i kept her fenced into our very small (new york city style) kitchen in order to keep her away from it. when she was in...
I have a 7 month old Saint, Granite, who is into his 5th week of his first hip and I just had a few questions. He has been pretty much confined now for 5...
Hi, I remember when it was time for my dogs 2nd hip. He hadn't even lay down on the first side yet and still limped. I didn't know how on earth he was going to...
Hi Hang in there. It has been 1.5 years now since Annie's bi-lateral TPOs. She is also a giant breed (Shiloh Shepherd). She was very sore and stiff on her...
I have a 2 year old VERY active lab that had bilateral TPOs done 6 weeks apart. I had a VERY difficult time keeping him quiet, but it was worth every minute. I...
my GSD morgan is nearly five, and it has been over four years since her right side TPO. we observed the restrictions to the letter, and, yes, it was a hard six...
HI there, I had just one hip done for my dog, Dixie. She had one bad hip and one OK hip. I don't think it put extra strain on her OK hip, but it did on her...
Firstly, welcome, and sorry you're having to join. Your email was great, I read every bit and your action plan seems sound. The second opinion is the key...
Test email as my responses don't seem to be going through? If this pops up on the group, ignore it, but it will be odd. My replies to messages show up in my...
... TPO's, mixed results but the results could have been the same had they done the TPO's separately? Although I think the general consensus was that they...
Gracie had her left hip done on the 10th of January. She did great! The day after surgery, she was putting some weight on the repaired leg. Now, one week...
Maybe Granite would benefit from some walking. I was told by my surgeon that after 4 weeks and if Gracie is doing well, he would allow me to walk her for short...
i would SERIOUSLY check that out with your ortho vet before doing it. i was told that it was a six week period of complete activity restriction after the...
I agree. I think it is a really BAD idea to think you should be walking your dog after 4 weeks. It was imperative that Annie stay still and quiet for the 6...
Thanks for the advise. I only take Gracie outside with a sling and leash. She spends most of her time in her crate and sometimes I let her lay next to me and...
i only used the sling for the first two weeks. but morgan only walked, seriously, about thirty feet each way on her walks. she walked from kitchen to front...
We don't let him walk around all that much. He likes to waunder around when he poops. At times I have thought he was walking around too much outside so in we...
Good luck Granite and to you. All we can do is the best we can. I wonder the same about Gracie. Just do what the surgeon says and you should be OK. Right after...
Well, tomorrow is the big day. We have an appointment at K State at 1030 and I am assuming he will have his surgery on the right hip the next day. I am really...
