Thanks Marylee We have been trying to keep Chandra's weight down but she goes crazy when she doesn't have anything to chew on. She's gained about 2 pounds so...
I hope things go well for Chandra at her next check up. Brix is almost 9/12 weeks post TPO's, and his exercise restriction was extended because of the...
Hi, I was just wondering at what point in the usual eight week recovery period others have noticed improvement in their dogs gait. Dash is just five weeks...
When Brix was about 7 weeks post 2nd TPO, his gait was starting to look better, but he was walking twice a week on the underwater treadmill, and the...
Hi everybody, Chandra, almost 4 weeks post TPO, has one big lump (egg size) on her sholder and one on the back of her neck (pingpong ball size) ... Does...
... - I noticed that after we started doing the sit-to-stand exercises that Brix started using his back legs to get up when he was laying on the floor. Until...
... I don't know if it's specifically recommended. In most cases, it's probably not really necessary. In Brix's case, we want him to reach a physical...
The surgeon I used encourages physical therapy, if you are will to so it. The swimming we did with Loki made a huge difference in his recovery! He went from...
I admire those schutzhund dogs. I hope Brix has a full recovery and is in top form! Let's see, dysplasia, panosteitis and schutzhund. Is Brix a GS? ? Nancy ...
... Yes, he's a German Shepherd....I bet it was the clues that gave him away. :-) I didn't even think about it like that until you put it all together in one...
I don't know the medical name for them, but they could be fatty cysts. I had a dog once that got them. But its a good idea to have them checked out by the...
Marylee, Three beauties! Brix' coat has a magnificent shine! I look forward to the pre and post TPO x-rays. Since Dash' diagnosis of CHD I scavenge the web...
Diana, Thanks for the explanation. Good description. I think Dash already has the "swinging leg" thing. I don't really care as long as he's comfortable and ...
Hi: Shadow (Bouvier, 11 months) is nearly finished with her recovery from unlilateral TPO done just before Thanksgiving. She is still restricted to the...

Thanks for the info Joni! We are off to see the vet tomorrow! Hope everybody has a nice weekend Kris ... From: Joan T. To: tpo@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
I put a web site for Brix's TPO at http://webpages.charter.net/grasso/brix/TPO/index.htm that shows his presurgical and first post-surgical x-rays if anyone...
Marylee, Thanks for posting the x-rays. What a difference! It must be gratifying to see these results. Dash had 30% or less coverage of the femoral head...
That flattened area on the femoral head is normal, and is illustrated as #4 on OFA's web site. There is a diagram under the subheading "OFA's Handling...
Marylee, What a great site. Good information that was easily understood. I hope it inspires people to check sooner rather than later if they suspect a...
... Good explanation. Thanks. I tend to make orthopedic mountains out of osteo molehills! Suspect the worst and work backwards. Good thing I'm not a...
Hello everybody, We've got good news and bad news.... Chandra's 1st TPO is healing nicely, but her other side has worsened and is going to be operated...
Hello Marylee, We picked up Chandra from her second TPO on Friday. She's amazing! She hasn't complained at all. The first TPO looks really good (as per the...
Hi Kris, We didn't do very much different for the second surgery than the first except that Brix needed more support with the sling. We used the cone when he...
Hi Marylee, Chandra's TPOs were 4 weeks apart. We are also using a sling to support her. Today we took off the cone and left her in the kitchen alone for a...
Hi Kris, Brix chewed his sutures after the second surgery too. I don't know why they bothered him so much more than the first time. He even wore his cone a...
Hi Marylee, She's already laying on her 2nd TPO side... I think she's trying to scratch the sutures by laying on the newly operated side and moving around a...
