Hi All,  My name is Christi and my 3 ½ month-old English Setter, Conner, was just diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. The surgeons have already seen the...
Hi Christi, Our German Shepherd puppy was diagnosed with bilateral HD at 4 months old with the right side being somewhat worse than the left and TPO was ...
Hi, Our shelter-adopted flat-coated retriever had bi-lateral hip dysplasia. We had both hips done at once (there are pros and cons for this). He was in the...
... <<the crate at night, a very brief walk in the morning, breakfast, X-pen, short noon walk, X-pen, dinner, short walk, crate for bedtime. >> Putting him...
... <<We had both hips done at once (there are pros and cons for this). He was in the hospital for 3 weeks and we took him home and kept him in a crate. At his...
All things being equal, I think the recovery for this procedure is 8 weeks regardless of whether one or both hips are done. It takes 8 weeks for the bones to...
... It was ok. He'd go in, circle once or twice, then laid down. Since he was in the X-pen only while we were there watching we were able to control his...
Hi Christi, I'm sure your head must be spinning right now. You think you have a perfectly healthy pup and then get that shock. My pup was diagnosed with hip...
Christi, I am going to second everything Kim has said. If I were you, and my pup were under 4 months, I'd try to get him to a vet school to be evaluated for a...
Hello, My 5 month old weimar pup just had Surgery and we are 10 days out. He is crated in a crate large enough for him to turn around in. He had been...
We bought wheels that are made for his crate and screwed them on to it. Then we wheeled the crate outside the house, lifted it in the car and drove him in it....
We did what you're doing in that we put our pup into a smaller crate to limit his mobility. He had to duck his head when he stood and he could not fully...
An addendum: When we went in to have the staples out we just kept him on a very short lead. Why do vets' offices all have slick vinyl floors, anyway??? I love ...
I will call my local vet today. I had to travel 2.5 hours for the initial referral and then surgery. Bleu has done well but I always get anxious about...
I had mine in the larger crate, but again he was pretty big already. The key is so that he can't run, walk or hurt himself. My vet sedate him when they...
The X-pen worked well for us because he was only in it when we were in the room with him. Most of the time he really just laid down and snoozed or chewed on...
It may be because my guy had a DPO (2 cuts instead of three) instead of a TPO (though we did both sides at once), but our surgeon has wanted him to stand and...
I have been to the vet and picked up ACE. I have tried half a pill today since he is very active in his crate. He is pulling against me even on a short...
Well success with the staple removal. We took Bleu in his crate and had staples removed. He is happy and wants to play. NO more E collar. Laying on the...
Just make sure you keep him confined in his crate when you cannot be with him. Any running, jumping, going up stairs, or slipping on slippery floors could...
I'm glad to hear the staple removal was successful and the incision sites are healing well. They really don't have much pain once the wounds are healed other...
I took my puppy, Max, to the vet last week since I've noticed him walking different for quite some time. When he was about 4-5 months old I noticed a slight...
I took my golden in to a well known surgeon in the Dallas/Fort Worth (Texas) area for a TPO on her right hip, and the cost was $3000 per hip. That was a year...
Hi Jennifer~ I'm in the same boat as you...our golden (9 mos.) has hp but in both hips. It will be 2 weeks tomorrow since his first surgery on his left hip,...
I called around today and found the best place to go is Michigan State University. Have an appointment on Wednesday next week. Figured out that most vets are...
my bc had bilateral TPO's when he was 7 months old.................he played flyball and agility after he recovered and did rehab............he had no problems...
Thank you! I take Bleu in this Friday for his x-rays. It will be 5 weeks post-op and I hope it all looks good. We have done everything recommended but he...
