I think it depends on the surgeon. Mine released my boy to full activity, except jumping, 4 weeks after the second surgery. His surgeries were the beginning...
I'm not sure if by rides you mean car rides or bike rides- if it is bike rides and running I would definitely err on the side of caution and talk with your own...
At my girl's 6 week post op on her 2nd TPO side the Dr. said that she could do anything. He also really wanted me to try and build up the muscle on the 2nd ...

Hello, As my dad says, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Yes it makes sense to leave him alone. Aprilia was a candidate for a TPO but as she isn't suffering at...
A few questions....who did the initial x-rays, a family vet or an ortho vet? Also was it a specialist who diagnosed the HD or a regular vet? At what age was...

First of all -- thanks to all of you who emailed us and posted to the board during our past two month experience with TPO. It was so helpful to "talk" to...
I would have his hips re-evaluated prior to surgery. I would want to compare the new pics with the old ones. Both my dogs displayed limping and signs of HD ...

Leo just slipped and fell on his way out of his crate to go potty. We've tried to be really careful but it happened very quickly. It wasn't a major fall and he...
Hi Bonnie, My lab had hip replacement about 4 years ago. Many vets say aspirin therapy is not good for a dog. I'm not sure why, maybe they don't make any money...
Hi Sally, Thank you (all) for your input. Fortunately, we have the money already set aside for Tugger but it's not really about the money. He really does seem...

Hello! I am new to the group but am so glad I have found it! I was wondering, has anyone done the TPO surgery on BOTH hips at the same time? My 9 month old...
I have a female that had both hips done seperately before one year. I know my vet recommended one at a time. I read somewhere that it is not advisable to do a...
