We have an 11 month old lab who is having TPO surgery next Wednesday. I am sure there are many many posts on here that answer my questions but since the...
First off, be glad you caught the HD while he is still a candidate for surgery. The TPO is preferred surgery for HD. I have a 10 month old German Shepherd that...
I would highly recommend an expen. They are about 4x4 wire pens and are not as confining as a crate, but will keep your pup from being bothered by your other...
Well we didn't have much time to prepare for Hector's TPO. He injured his hip as he was trying to climb over a slat fence we have to separate the porch from...
I'm 3 weeks out on 1 hip and having the other done tomorrow. I had built a little pen in my laundry room for him but someone here told me to crate him to...
Hi, My lab is almost 5 years post op from TPo and I'm so glad we did it. The recovery for us was uneventful. I didn't know anyone else who had done it and I...
This is interesting. He hasn't whimpered in pain when first getting up and moving around like he did with the first one. I'm not sure if he has gotten used...
We took our lab in for TPO surgery yesterday a.m. and they did some x- rays beforehand. The surgeon called and said that there was some looseness in the hips...
Cheryl, Not sure how old your lab is but when my GSD was about 5 months old she started bunny hopping and limping a bit. Took her straight to the ortho and he...
she is 11 months old. Thanks. Cheryl Rarick Human Resource Manager The Stolar Partnership LLP 911 Washington Avenue Saint Louis, Missouri 63101 Tel:...
How soon does he want to see her again? Just wondering because if she does end up having HD the TPO is the preferred surgery and can only be done when young,...
He said he would like to x-ray her in 3 months to see how she is doing. And yes, he said to put her on a diet because for every pound she loses it will feel...
hi cheryl -- just keep in mind that dogs don't wear running shoes -- that is to say, no dog with any joint problems whatever should do any running on cement,...
Hi- My Newfoundland, Sampson, 1 1/2 years old, has had his fair share of surgery. He is 135 lbs of love! Sampson has had TPO's done on both hips. (successful...
Guess what?? I had that condtion on my right knee when I was in 5th grade!! I never heard of it until I was diagnosed. Its been forever since I heard that...
Hi, It has been some time since I have seen any activity on this site. I hope I have not been kicked off because I read every letter and treasure every bit of...
I think most of us are still here. But this seems to be a very quiet list that gets real active when needed by someone having to make surgical decisions for...
Hi Katrina, I have followed Hector's progress. So glad he is doing well. Beverly Katrina McGinnis <kbmcginn@...> wrote: I think most of us are still...
And I am glad Rex is doing well. Katrina Beverly Roberts <hobosally9534@...> wrote:Hi Katrina, I have followed Hector's progress. So glad he is doing...
Well, this morning. my little stinker decided that he was advancing the end date by a few days for TPO #2's activity restriction (was to end Friday anyway.)...
Congratulations. Sounds like you have gotten thru the worse part. Yep, Hector also decided to do the couch thing, but he did it when he got away from me...
The surgeon I used releases their restriction at 4 weeks unless there are problems and said....easy on the jumping TOO much for 2 more weeks. ... From:...
I have discovered thru this list the amazing amount of variation between vets. Hector was on complete restrictions until his 6th week (when he had his postop...
Kate had her 1st side done on Wednesday and I was able to pick her up on Friday. They have her on Deramaxx for swelling and Tramadol for pain. Is anyone else...
The surgeon I used just used Rimadyl for pain and swelling and it worked fine. Vegas has had both hips done and he bled the first night home just a tad from...
Tramadol is a very good pain reliever. It's a pseudo-narcotic (so not a controlled substance) that works on opiate receptors similar to morphine. Deramaxx is...
I gave my girl compressed rawhide bones to chew. We also played catch with her laying down. Sounds like your girl is pretty comfortable which is good. Good...
Hello, I'm new to this group and joined hoping to find some answers to questions we have regarding surgical options for our 18 month old Lab, Tugger. He's...
