Does anyone have a good Ortho surgeon in the Lincoln, Nebraska area for a 4yr old Berner with a ruptured ACL? We dont want to go to Kansas State. Kris, Grimly,...
Hello to all. My baby boy had his tpo on his right side on 9/11. His right was better than the left in that there was a bit more coverage and no noticeable...
stacey -- glad you got a diagnosis in time to have at least the one side done. if there are arthritic changes in the other side already, a TPO will not be...
Maria, Thanks for your reply. Today his leg seems so shaky. Maybe he's starting to put some weight on here and there and it's tired. When he stands his foot...
Hi all! I know you like to hear how the dogs are doing post op. Bizkit is doing great thus far! She is now 13 months old and is 5 months post op form her TPO...
i think you will want the support right in front of the hind legs. the shakiness in the leg and the angled out foot, i remember from morgan's post-op period....
Stacey, I'm going to second what Maria said about the other hip. The whole purpose of TPO is to avoid arthritis. If Mac already has some in that hip, TPO may...
He's getting stronger, putting a little more weight on his foot. He has an ecollar, and it's clear in color, so he can see around him. He had a panic attack...
Hi Stacey, Nikko, my dog, was given diazepam as a sedative and it worked well... he really freaked out on the tramadol so I couldn't give that to him... hope...
Thanks for posting these pictures. It's very encouraging since we are in the trenches of a long recovery. I can't wait for those days. We plan on training...
Hi Stacey- sorry to hear what you and Mac have been through. Just wanted to let you know our labradoodle, JJ had a similiar situation. She was diagnosed with...
stacey -- you definitely should ask the vet for a sedative. i found it really helpful to use acepromazine, especially as morgan began to heal and think she was...
I called our vet and she didn't want him on the "ace" for more than a few days, so she recommended 1mg benedryl/pound twice a day. She said to see if that...
... are ... Canine ... ~`~~~~ I'm glad it helped. ;] Keep your chin up, It is not easy some days but just keep inthe back of your ind that it will get better...
I could not be happier with Molly's recovery. She is now 2 1/2 months post op and we were told she could return to normal activity over the next two weeks....
My vet was also very cautious about sedatives for our pup. However he did say that as a last resort we could give him benadryl. My pup was 55 pounds and he...
Get some sedatives! I've never heard of a surgeon not giving sedatives. All the money you have invested and all the time the surgeon has put in, I'm sure he...
... sedatives. All the money you have invested and all the time the surgeon has put in, I'm sure he doesn't want it all for not if the dog is too active and...

i thoroughly agree with the below. maria ... sedatives. All the money you have invested and all the time the surgeon has put in, I'm sure he doesn't want it...
Absolutely get whatever pain meds and tranquilizers your dog needs. I would go back to your regular vet, if the ortho vet won't supply them. Especially early...
Mac is now 18 days post-op. In a nutshell, his surgery appears to be going well. No issues, no infection, no nerve problems, no loose screws, very little...
This is great news that he is doing se well, post op. Sorry to hear the second side is a bit shakey for also getting the TPO. My doggie, Dixie, has just...
Well, he's back to being a puppy. I went downstairs to walk him - (his crate is in our basement area b/c there aren't any steps to go outside and it's mostly...
I would not walk your dog AT All. He should be allowed to go out and do his business then right back in his crate. He should not be walked till at least 6...
Well good news regarding the surgery and I will keep my fingers crossed regarding the other leg. It seems that many people have written on this site about...
Thanks for making sure I understand the rules. Our version of a walk is just that, out of the crate, do your business, back in to the crate! No fun for this...
well, that isn't such bad trouble -- the loss of a piece of carpet isn't as bad as if he had gotten loose from you and fallen or something. i hope the ace is...
Those 'pill pockets' that you can pick up at Petsmart are great for pilling dogs too. I work at a dog boarding facility, and nothing gets dogs to take their...
