yes kate's surgery was on tuesday oct 25. i called first thing monday and dr said she needed catheter for 3-5 days until swelling/inflammation goes down and...
hey folks. it's maria the skeptic who sticks her nose in every once in a while. my two and a half year old GSD, morgan, has CHD; she had a TPO on one side,...
I'm so happy to have found this list! Our 7.5 month old Beardie will have TPO surgery on the right hip tomorrow and we are a wreck. At this point we are still...
Hi, good luck tomorrow. I never thought I would be able to keep my very naughty Labrador quiet enough for him to heal but we managed. I didn't even need to...
Good luck to you and to your furry friend....keep us posted. ________________________________ From: tpo@yahoogroups.com on behalf of beardiedog Sent: Mon...
Hi, I can relate as others on the list do. The people from this list helped me with support and information 4 years ago with my BC that needed bilateral hip...
Good luck!! Our female GSD had both hips done before she turned 1 year old. She is a very energetic girl and I have 3 other dogs. So, if we can do it you can...
Well, Duffy is out of surgery and it went well. That's the good news. The bad news is that the other hip is also very loose. (There was hope that it was...
Glad the surgery went well. I know it is stressful now, but it will be a faded memory soon. Vegas had TPO #2 the first week of September...and you'd never...
Glad to hear surgery went well. Sorry about the other hip. We were hopeful for 2nd hip too, but turned out to be bad. The first few days are the hardest. Good...
Make sure you support Duffy with either a towel or sling for a while when he's walking around. Many on this list have watched their pups fall at the vet's...
Everything went well so far. The surgeon took Duffy home with him last night and said he fed him some home cooked chicken and rice! His 13 year old daughter...
The tramadol is good, and shouldn't upset his stomach even if he hasn't eaten. That's one nice thing about tramadol over NSAIDS (rimadyl, deramaxx, etc.)....
Sounds like he is doing well. He won't be himself for a few days, thats for sure. I know they sell ramps at Petsmart for cars, etc.... If it would work it ...
I wouldn't worry about him not wanting to eat today - he'll get hungry sooner or later - a day or so of not eating after major surgery shouldn't really alarm...
Good grief this is hard. I just keep reminding myself it's just a short time! Our other Beardie has had lots of medical problems...and a few surgeries...but...
Just wanted to add a little more. The first TPO she really didn't seem to be in too much pain. The second time around (6 weeks later) she was wimpering the 2nd...
You may have read other posts of people sleeping in the room with the dogs the first couple of nights and I must admit that Jackie would cry if we left her...
It is tough. I'm a nurse but I still had a hard time with my baby hurting and cut up. With mine, TPO #1 seemed to be worse. Maybe because with the second...
Brix didn't cry unless he did something that specifically hurt (while turning in his crate or something similar). It might be worth discussing the pain with...
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions and warnings. Duffy finally urinated late last night and this morning we got both jobs done. I think that's progress....
When they finally potty it is a relief (no pun intended) ;-). I remember we got to the point that instead of using the sling we just used the base of her tail...
Duffy is doing fine I guess. He's still on some pain meds but I think he feels pretty good. He's a bit more stable walking -- but he is a nightmare to manage....
Peg, I feel for you and know what you're going through. My pup did alot of chewing on yummy bones. We also played catch while laying down. After awhile she...
I'm considering tpo for my 5 1/2 mo old german shepherd. Does a dog with dysplastic hips have more of a chance of elbow dysplasia? How will she be later on in...
Hi, my dog does have elbow dysplasia as well. it only became a problem for him at the age of 5. It's very disappointing but he only gets sore after being off...
Hi, True's joints cracked before the surgeries and I was under the impression that it would stop once he had the TPO's. When I told the surgeon True still...
I don't think a dog with bad hips is more likely to have elbow dysplalsya. I have had two dogs that have had HD and no elbow dysplasia. My one GSD had a tpo on...
There's an article in Dogs in Canada that claims that HD dogs have a 50% better chance of having ED too. I don't have any resources to prove that comment...
... Ok, I was getting ready to respond to the elbow dysplasia, and just got an education. I had always considered elbow dysplasia to be defined as an ununited...
