Hello, My name is Kayla and the mommy of a 7.5 month old puppy named Bella, a Shetland Sheepdog. Bella was diagnosed a month ago with bilateral hip displasia....
My recommendation is to get to a surgeon now. Your pup has to be a good candidate for the surgery and my vet school would not perform the surgery after a year...
Hi its Kayla again (Bella's Mom). I forgot something! Bella is about twice the size she should have been! She is around 33 pounds and should have been 14-18...
Hi Kayla. My Silver Lab was diagnosed when she was 8 mo. old also. Her one hip sosket was too shallow to do a tpo on so we did it on the hip that was a ...
hey robert -- i don't post here very much any more, as my dog is five years post TPO at this point. but i do drop in once in a while and i just wanted to let...
My 11 month old Golden was diagnosed a few weeks ago with Hip Dysplasia.Went to the surgeon Friday and she let us know our options, TPO, THR. We have choosen...
Hi, just a quick note that my dog had TPO over 7 years ago and has been great since. None of the complications you hear of happened to him and I'm still glad...
Julie, if your golden is a candidate, I would go with the tpo. You have experience being around animals, so it should go well. The dog can still be around you....
Julie, my 2 year old black lab, Ranger is a success story. The surgeries(worrying) and recovery was long and hard, it is a distant memory now and it was just...
julie -- read the post right before yours -- it is about my GSD, morgan, who had TPO five years ago, at eight months of age, had an uneventful but strictly...
So glad your Ranger is doing well. We are going to do it. We love our Apple so much, we want her to have a good long life! Thank you Julie ranger4nick...
I am going to buy a large crate this weekend. I have not crated her since she was a baby, cause she so good in the house. We have had to issues withhere having...
I am wondering if they might only be able to one side on my Golden,( Apple). She is almost 50% out on her right hip.I have had her on Cosiquin for several...
Hi its Kayla, Bellas mommy! First off thank you everyone who took the time to read my last posts and to post back! I have made an apt for April 17th at...
Hi Kayla- good luck to you. We have most recently been through this with our labradoodle JJ. She had her TPO surgeries last nov and dec. She is not 100% yet as...
Hi Kayla!! I went through a similar situation two years ago. My then six month old lab (Chocolate Charlie) was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. (My mom...
Our Golden retriever mix had her first TPO done on her right side this past Tuesday. It is now 4 days since the surgery. She is mostly just sleeping and she...
Dear Megan- Hang in there! Yes, the first week to two weeks are the WORST! Actually, it probably is good that she sleeps so much in that the more calm she is...
... an anti-inflammatory. I have been able to be with her since the surgery but i have to go back to work on Monday. Not looking forward to that. I am glad to...
I agree that the first couple weeks are the worst. Very nerve racking (sp?) She should get gradually better. I had a really hard time at first also, but as my...
Megan, It is hard and long, but it is worth it, I know you dread the next but I think one side is always worse than the other. Ranger's xrays showed (1) hip...
Hi all, Were new here. Bizkit, my almost 8 month old American Bulldog got Xrays done last Mon and my Vet wants me to go for a consult at either a Dr. he...
I would think that V-Tech has done quite a few tpo surgeries. Make sure the surgeon manipulates the dogs hip joint to make sure when he forces the head of the ...
Thanks for all the support. Our puppy is doing much better, like everyone says "better everyday". Her right side, the side we had done, was the worse of the 2...
Diana, I'm sorry about Bizkit. According to OFA statistics, CHD is very common in Bulldogs. www.offa.org TPO surgery usually has better results than FHO - if...
Oh, I remember those days all too well. I have a 3.5 year old GSD that had her first TPO done the Friday before Memorial Day 2 years ago and then second one 6...
Hi- our labradoodle had TPO in Nov and Dec 2007, she was 7 mos old at the time. It is really hard to see them laying around, but even harder to keep them...

A 1000.00 per hip is unheard of. My dog cost 3500.00 for one hip in Ohio. Make sure you check him out...check him out good. Having both hips done at once,...
