Hi, Carrot went to the vet to get a second set of X-Rays yesterday and my husband and I heard the full set of options for the first time. We were thinking that...
We just got off the phone with Dr. Hodges. They were able to do the TPO and everything looks great. He said there is now much better coverage on the right...

Thanks for posting my GSD is two years post TPO, he'll be 3 next month, and it is good to see stories of older dogs still doing well. He had TPOs on both hips...
Good luck with the recovery period. It's long and grueling for everyone, but hopefully you have given your dog a new life. Our, labradoodle, JJ is more than a...

Anka, I don't want to be an alarmist, but have you had Leo back to the surgeon so they could look at the incision?? Is he on antibiotics? I don't like the way...
My husband just sent a new photo. Leo has been in the very padded X-pen since yesterday with a little more room to move around. The wound is EVER so much...
Anka- we did have something similiar with JJ, but it happened right when it was time to get her staples out. Her incision opened up a little and she started to...
Thanks Kathy. There's some stuff called NuSkin. Some comes in a patch and another version is liquid which you dab on, sort of smells like Superglue. I've used...
