Hi Everyone-- My 7 month old puppy Willow had her first TPO surgery 10 days ago. My question is how long do they need to be on pain meds? She has enough pills...
As far as the pain meds go, my doc told me to only give them as needed. He actually told me to buy some "Ascripton" - in a drug store. It is a "people" pain...
I think we gave Rimadyl for 10 days. Be careful changing pain meds. With Brix's panosteitis, our surgeon said if he's had Rimadyl, he needs to go 72 hours...
Hi Jane -- My GSD, Morgan, was also seven months old when she had a unilateral TPO last October. While I did not need to use the Rimadyl for pain for very...
Marylee - Thanks for the info on changing medications, I wouldn't have thought of that. I think I'm going to wean her off them this weekend and then towards...
Maria - I asked the surgeon about sedatives before Willow had the surgery and she said she wouldn't prescribe them. So, that means keeping Willow under...
Regarding aspirin - Brix's surgeon recommended Bufferin. If it's coated (which was all we could find) crush it (if she'll eat it) or cut it in half and put it...
Ranger had his right TPO in June and his full coat is still filling in, he is covered, but you can still see the outline of his shave. I swear it felt like...
Marylee What are you doing up a 3:30ish????? :-) How is Brix doing? Do you use the P/T at DVSC? I have my Duck Waders, but the pool is getting chilly for...
Marylee Thanks for the information on the coated aspirin. I never would have thought about the coating preventing it from being digested. I have used...
Hi Tammy -- Willow's just starting to get some fuzzy fur back but in 4 weeks when she has her other side done, it'll be back to naked again!! I'm hoping...
My 10 month old Golden had TPO on one hip 4 days ago. I've scoured these messages and gotten such good info and advice. I thought I'd pass along a helpful tip...
... I wasn't feeling good for a couple of days, and slept A LOT. About 2:00 this morning, I was wide awake and felt fine. :-) I did go back to sleep at 5:00...
Hi Jane, we did True 2nd TPO in December and it was the worst winter with the most snow on record for a long time! True did manage OK and I would put a coat on...
Hi Folks, I have a weird thing that happens with True and I wanted to run it by you. He had his first TPO in October 4 years ago. Several weeks after his...
Traumatic expereince. Dogs seem pretty in tuned with everything so maybe he somehow assocaites that time with his slipping. The runners aren't pretty, but it...
Well, I got the go ahead for Dante to have free run of the house. He's now 16 weeks post op left TPO and 10 weeks post op right TPO. The vet suggested 4-6...
I think Dante thought that your downstairs area (where he had not been for all those weeks?) was "outside", like the outdoors. Can you usher him outside from ...
Hope to get to know you all. I will try to contribute to the discussion with my thoughts, knowledge, and opinions....

Dear Group-- I always had thought hip dysplasia was a condition which developed in older collies. But my 7.5-month old rough collie was just diagnosed with...

Hi Linda, allot of people mistakenly believe that hip dysplasia is an old dogs disease but in fact it's a problem in puppies. If a dog has been cleared of HD...
Indiana, our little 9 month old golden had his left hip TPO six weeks ago. The follow up X-rays three weeks ago made our vet skeptical as to whether the right...
Hi everyone, just though I would introduce myself. I'm looking forward to the discussions here. Oh yeah, my pics are at:...

hi jazz and linda, sierra had a tpo done when she was about ten months old. we had it done at the columbia mo. vet teaching hospital for 1500. they did a great...
Brix's right side was not the best for TPO, but we chose to give it a try anyway. Nothing to lose (aside from $$$). The TPO worked, and he's a happy active...
Marylee, What did the Dr. say about Brix not being a good for TPO? I thought the only reason they could not do it was athritis (sp) I see posts that say the...
The vet told us that he determines if a hip can be fixed with a TPO depends on the angle of engagement of the ball to socket with the dog under anesthetic...
