Hi Everyone, My puppy, Taylor, was just diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. He'll be 12-months on the 7th and is 87 lbs. His right hip is a "perfect"...
Having just watched Chance go through this, I would only do one at a time, even if it meant an extra $500. My concern would be that you would be putting to...
Thank you Jeff for your advice. Now I feel confident in telling the vet to do one hip Monday and the other 2-weeks later. The vet said that he usually...
I was just curious if the Vet mentioned anything about weight. Mine thought Chance still had to much puppy fat (But I thought it ws so cute!). I wish I had...
In a message dated 3/1/03 5:28:38 PM Pacific Standard Time, ... Hi there, I just wanted to tell you my story. Not to scare you...only to warn you because if I...

Hi, I agree with Jeff about doing the surgeries separate. We did not have the option to do them at the same time so ours were 4 weeks apart. Doing them...
I may have a different view of the surgeries. Josh had his done 2 weeks apart, which was fine, but I almost wish he had them done at the same time. After the...
I also was not able to claim on my medical insurance as hip problems are classed as 'polygenic' which is a combination of many genes, each of which makes a...
Hi I am new to the group! Would you recommend doing TPO? Did you have it done on one or both hips? What breed of dog? Hilary [Non-text portions of this message...
Quick answer... Yes I would recommend TPO if indicated. I had it done on both hips 5 weeks between each surgery. My dog was aged 7 months for first surgery....
Hilary, Welcome to the list! I have a golden retriever Jake that had TPO on one hip. The other hip had too much arthritis and will need THR later. I absolutely...
Taylor had his first TPO (on the really bad hip) this morning. The vet wasn't too sure how well it would go looking at the xrays. However, once he started...
Such great news!!!! Hudson really didn't want to do much after the surgery maybe Taylor won't either. Your two weeks (after you get though the first) will fly...
hey. sierra had her first hip done four weeks ago and she will have her second one done thursday. the first week is the worst for you newcomers. and i am not...
Hudson is a Bernese Mountain Dog and his first surgery was 12/5/02 and second was 4 weeks later on 1/2/03. He still walks a little funny but we need to build...
Wow! Our dog is just a little guy, just 30 lbs at 9 months. He will only get about 5-8 lbs heavier. I keep getting advice to not do the surgery, because he is...
What breed is he? Another option for smaller dogs is FHO. Did anyone tell you about it? Take care, Becky and Jake [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hi Hilary, FHO is another option especially for a smaller dog. There have been people on the HD sight that have had great results and most of them have large...
Hi, Scotch is now 2 1/2 weeks out from his second TPO. He is doing well and even seems to be regaining his appetite. Its been a little more difficult to keep...
Taylor's surgery was just 2 days ago and he is already doing much better than I thought. I was able to pick him up yesterday afternoon. It was heartbreaking ...

Hi, I feel the same way about the grooming. We did two baths in the tub with Hudson(the first bath at about 4 weeks out on the first hip second not even done...
Jonah will be having his first surgery in 9 days and I am becoming a nervous wreck. I think I've got all the stuff I'll need to help him after surgery, a belly...
Hi, I guess a little background info would be helpful before I ask any questions. My husband and I have a mixed black lab pup, Jack, that we brought home from...
Hi Linda, Taylor just had his first TPO surgery Monday morning. He stayed overnight at the vet hospital under 24-hour observation. I know he was heavily...
Thanks Elizabeth. I'm going to ask the vet about keeping him sedated for the first couple of days home. Sounds like a good idea. I am still working on how to...
