Hi all! I just added pics in Bizkit's folder. There are before and after pics. I will do my best to keep adding pics as she heals and re-coups. Today is day 5...
I would not rush the fho. My lab had tpo on the hip that was a candidate and the other socket was too shallow for tpo. It has been 4 months post surgery and ...
Also remember that when you do an fho you cut off the head of the femur and by doing so you shorten that leg which can result in a permanent limp. Consider...
Our 9 month old black lab, Molly just had the TPO surgery on her left back leg last monday 5/12/08. So far she seems to be doing very well. The first night we...
what you do NOT want just now is for molly to either "be herself" or to be particularly using the TPO leg. you want her to be inactive (which you will have to...
Thank you for the information about when to expect her to be using the leg she had surgery on. But as for Molly being herself, I was refering to her...
my morgan is what my grandfather, an old dog trainer and breeder, used to refer to as a "hard dog." she is high energy, high drive, and not easily daunted by...
Our Golden Retriever Mix had her 1st tpo done 6 weeks ago. We drove up to our surgeons yesterday (3 hours...booo). We got up there expecting to be able to do...
Wow, $4 grand on each side, Yikes. It was $3 grand on each side for us just 2 years ago in Sacramento, CA. Annie needed 30 degree plates and did fine....
Our 10 month old German shepherd started limping recently. Always full of energy we figured she'd pulled a muscle. When it didn't improve we took her to our...
Dear Ashley- So sorry for your loss of your dog and for the severe HD in this pooch. We had great luck with a bi-lateral (both sides) TPO on Annie two years...
Hi again Ashley- 2 years ago, bilateral TPO surgeries cost us around $6,000 here in California. That didn't include all of the equipment and supplies and ...
Thank you for your information and sharing your personal experience. I will be consulting with the vet this week to talk about surgery and options. I hate...
Ashley, So sorry for all the heartache you have had to endure. I am sure losing such a young dog to a tumor must have been very tough to deal with. Who'd...
Linda, Thank you for your email. I just joined up with the canineHD group. There is just SO much to take in. To be honest, I dont think we can afford the ...
Ashley, That is what I said after Sumo....it is just too hard, we will NEVER have another dog. And we could not even make it 3 months without a dog. After Sumo...
subluxation. Worse on Right. Surgeon recommends TPO on right and see what happens with the left. May recommend FHO on left as he won't do TPO on it after he...
Julie, sorry to hear about your lab. My silver lab was diagnosed at 9 months old. Her left hip was a candidate and her right hip was not. Her right hip socket...
Hi Everyone, I'm sorry to read all of the emails about surgery for your dogs. I have a 2.5 year old Rott who had to have tpo surgery last summer. He has...
Hi Liz, Not sure if this will get posted, non of my message are showing up again. Sorry to hear Odus is having elbow surgery now. It's the same path that my...

Hi Julie- our labradoodle, JJ., was diagnosed withh hip dysplasia at 6 mos. She had her "bad" hip done first, one of the vets said it was borderline to do TPO....
Hi Everyone, I'm sorry to read all of the emails about surgery for your dogs. I have a 2.5 year old Rott who had to have tpo surgery last summer. He has...
Liz, you were lucky to have it covered, my parents had their Golden's surgeries 80% covered, but that was over 8 years ago. All the pet insurance I looked into...
... According to 2 of my ortho vets one from NC STate and one from MSU they are starting to doubt the procedure. The doc from MSU will not do them anymore. ...
Diana, Thank you for your comment!! Our vet would have sent us to MSU so its very interesting that a vet there will no longer do them. After talking in length...
Wow, that would be great if the pano was the cause of the issues Shasta has...and not the hd. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she feels MUCH better after...
... Diana- This is interesting to me. If they are starting to doubt procedure, what do they recommend for very young dogs with severe HD? Our Annie is doing...
