Good luck and it will be over before you know it. Happy New Year Joni ... _________________________________________________________________ Get reliable...
Glad to hear that Trooper made it home. The second one can be a bit more trying than the first, I know Bud's was. Good luck and Happy New Year Joni ... ...
Hi all, What a great list. I have learned so much from everyone's postings. I have a 6 month old Golden that is going in for her 2nd TPO on Monday the 5th. She...
Dawn - Bud was feeling his oats after 3 weeks after his first surgery, then he had the second one done. You may want to mention the pain to the vet when you...
Loki had his 2nd surgery 10 days after the first. He was weight baring and walking great on his own the whole time. I think it is a bit harder for females,...
Thanks all, I do believe the surgeon will be x-raying both hips before the surgury on Monday, but I'll check just to make sure. We have been very careful with...
Hi Dawn, Cody seemed to heal really quickly on her first hip but the second one was the kicker. It was then that she was having the trouble going to the...
... It could be muscle pain. Our vet told us that it takes 8 weeks for the bones to heal, and longer for the muscles. It appears that there are incisions...
Thanks again for all your help! I think I am seeing things a bit more positive now. Our ideal candidate, as the vet said, is going to be operated on...
I've read a lot about people going through the proceedure on both hips. I still have a meeting on Monday with the Orthopedic specialist so I'm not sure what...
Our golden retriever Odin had only the right hip done. Original diagnosis showed the right to be much worse than the left, but the plan was to do both. After...
... Has anyone just done one side and that's all ... Hi, My dog, Scout, is 7 wks. post-op on his right hip. Our surgeon said he would not suggest that we do...
Well it looks like Emme won't be having the 2nd surgery today after all. Arthritis has set up in the joint and she is no longer a good candidate for the 2nd...
... Hi: By now you probably have your verdict. When Shadow went for her eval 5 weeks after the first surgery, she was no longer a candidate on the second side...
Keep your head up! Chandra ( 6 month old GR) was supposed to have her 1st TPO tomorrow but the vet ordered the wrong plates.... So we'll have to wait till he...
Well, my own advise, is don't wait too long. Having either of the other surgeries done is quite a bit more $ and harder recovery from what I have read on the...
oh sorry, I just assumed it went through. I just forwarded it from another group (Canine Cancer). I haven't really gone through it all but thought you guys...
I haven't posted much as I was waiting to find out more info from the orthopedic surgeon today. Bailey is a 9 month old GSD. I had him xrayed when he was ...
My dog was recently diagnosed with dysplasia, and given my dog's age (3 yrs old), and signs of arthritis starting (ruled out the TPO), the recommendation was a...
Hi, I'm pretty much a lurker here. Our Golden was also diagnosed with dysplasia a couple of months ago and is an older dog, she's 5. I don't have any...
... Hi: There is a group for hip dysplasia, which has some members who have done the FHO route. Like you, I'm not a fan of it and from my reading, the dog...
Hi: Shadow had her left TPO just before Thanksgiving, so she is now 6 weeks post procedure. She isn't a candidate on the right side because of some flattening...
She should be able to be swimming already. Most are able to swim once the sutures are out, buy week 3. Loki started swimming 3 weeks after his 2nd hip. I did...
... Unfortunately, I do not have any helpful information about the procedures, and have the same questions regarding one of my own, because he is also a large,...
I had a large female GSD that we rescued from the shelter who had been hit by a car prior to being brought into the shelter. We exited her after being ther 48...
I really appreciate the responses here. You guys are great. To clarify a little further regarding Niki's conditon, she has a prominent limp, and will aviod...
Tammy, I meant to write more before but I accidently hit the send button. I'm so sorry NiKi is in pain. I would continue to research it as much as you can,...
