Do you mean you're thinking of using the Care Credit account for plastic surgery? Hmmm...great minds MUST think alike! The money I'm using for Phantom's TPO...
Oh my goodness, Jan...this has turned out to be quite the ongoing ordeal! Poor True...and poor Jan, since I'm sure you're very concerned as to how this is...
How is Phantom doing Nancy? Have you decided on the 2nd hip yet? True has still got that darn thing in his gut. He goes on and off with feeling a bit badly....
nancy -- i think it is different for all of them, but morgan, my fifteen month old GSD, who had a unilateral TPO last november, is vastly better than she was...
Hi all-- When I picked Phantom up from her second TPO today, the surgeon informed me that the screws from the first TPO have pulled loose, so the plate is not...
Hey Nancy, I could not manuver Loki with the towel. I made my own strap out of a nylon carry on bag handle(about 3 inches wide) that had snaps on each end. I...
Nancy, I know it is disheartening right now but hold on as best you can. One day down the road the rewards could be astonishing. Cindy St. Louis, MO ... ...
Oh Nancy, I'm so sorry about everything. We had about 5 or 6 weeks between surgeries so I think we had it a bit easier. I remember that even 5 weeks later True...
Hi all-- Thanks for your encouragement. The surgeon asked me if Phantom had fallen, and I told him that one time she did "miss" the runner I'd put down and...
Hey Nancy, Hang in there. Brix's right side didn't look good from the start. His recovery has been longer, but now we're at six months, and things are...
Nancy, I hope that things turn out better than they're looking right now. I didn't even know that TPO could fail and I feel horrible that this has happened. I...
Jan, the surgeon did say that he's seen other post-op films that show little improvement, but that within a couple of weeks the ball settles into the socket...
Nancy, my heart is truly broken for you and Phantom. I am glad that there is a certain amount of hope that things will tighten up. I really do feel ignorant...
... Nancy, the measurements on Brix's right side indicated that he needed so much rotation that the surgery itself would cripple him. However, we based our...
I'm sorry to hear this set back. I don't suppose the doc knows why the screw came lose. Does Phantom just not like the sling or are you just having troubles...
Nancy - Again I'm sorry you have had such a bad experience with all this. Did the Doc tell you before hand that he was not sure if the second one would be...
Hello all! My mastiff Huey was diagnosed with HD when he was 5 months old. He had 2 tpo's (first tpo in January and second tpo in April). Not only was I ...
Gosh Marylee, I have honestly learned more about TPO in 2 weeks on this list than I knew in the 3.5 years since doing it for True. I wish I had you guys when I...
Hi all-- Joni-- no, the surgeon didn't indicate any concerns about doing the second hip, but it looks FAR worse on the post-op films than the first hip did. I...
This is a great story, Jen! Brix and I can really relate to it. On top of the higher risk TPO's, Brix also had painful panosteitis (unrelated to the TPO's),...
Hey all, Ranger goes in on Monday for his TPO on the right side. Marylee have you heard anything about the Southlake office? That is where = Ranger will...
Hi Tammy, I haven't been to the Southlake office. I would just make sure they have 24 hour care like they have at the Dallas office. It seems like I heard...
Thanks, We have the sling taken care of, I forgot the crate pad and will ta= ke care of that today. I plan on putting our trundle mattress out by his crate...
It was kind of Funny when the dogs got sick they did X-Rays of Sams tummy to make sure he did not eat anything that was stuck. The Dr. told us "now that is...
I don't know why my posts are all messed up. I swear I can type (I say nothing about spelling :-) ) any thought of what I am doing wrong? I have Wrap...
so morgan (15 months old, unilateral TPO in november) is doing pretty well, but she keeps tripping over her own feet and coming up lame in her front leg....
My dog gets diarreah and constipation.... I use canned pumpkin or metamusil for both conditions. They are both straight fiber. Works great!! 170lb dog - I use...
Hi Nancy, I use the same remedies that Jen suggested. Dehydration can also increase constipation, so make sure Phantom is drinking plenty of water. Mixing...
