What a great site, I am right now waiting to hear how the TPO surgery goes on Dixie's left hip, she's being operated on as I type, and your site has been...
I remember these concerns very well. Our Dilly stayed overnight, too, and honestly - I was shocked at how well she was doing when she came out. She was...
The sling is a great idea! The Doctor had mentioned that we should use a towel to support her, but I can totally foresee the same issue with the leash, door...
Hi, Since it seems that there are vets who are advocating TPO and other surgical procedures based on Penn Hip results, I thought I would share what is in the...
My pup presented at 6 months with limping and bunny hopping which led me to the orthopedic vet that did a penn hip on her. He recommended TPO and she is now...
Thanks I needed to read that. I got Dixie home about 2 hours ago....this is tough to watch. I do have her in a 6 sided pen, great advice from somebody else...
My girl was very wimpery the first few days after the 2nd TPO. She seemed in less pain the first time around. Hopfully, you have some pain meds. If not, I...
I just wanted to chime in that when she seems really better in 4 weeks from now, her hips will not have healed yet. That's when you have to be really careful....
Thanks again all, Dixie is sleeping now....it was a long night of whimpering and shuffling around in her pen getting settled. She does seem a little brighter...
Well, we will be dropping Shelby off tomorrow night for his 2nd TPO procedure on his right hip. So far, he has been doing well on his left hip. He now puts...
Proper breeders prioritize 1st behavior, then hips, and then beauty. Shelby is a beautiful boy w/ a wonderful personality, and I would never replace him in a...
Just an update on Dixie, it was a long weekend, but I am glad to say that she is doing much better! After coming home on the Thursday night and whimpering on...
Good luck to Shelby. I researched the hips several generations back for both sides of my dogs heritage. There was no HD but she ended up with it. Perfect ...
i found that only doggie tranquilizers -- acepromazine -- worked to keep my very high-energy 8 month old GSD pup calm during those last several weeks of...
Yes, the owners were definately backyard breeders. We weren't neccessarily looking for a purebred, but it was the unique breed at a great price that attracted...
We're thinking of Shelby, and you Andrea. Hope the x-rays were good for the hip that was done. It's awful droping our pups off, I can only imagine how...
We just received our pennHIP results for our lab/mastiff KIngston. He is in the worst 10% for his breed with his hips. His left leg is alredy too far...
So sorry to hear about your dog. I know the news is hard to take. I have had two dogs with bad hips and the first one had a TPO on one side and FHO on the...
It's such a tough decision, and you're having to make it when your dog seems well which makes it all even harder to sort out. I am only a week into the...
Hi, sorry about your situation, it's a tough one. Everyone has their own stories, but I will tell you mine. I got Taffy done when she was just under a year,...

Hello, My BMD was idagnosed with HD just before xmas 2005. We consulted a specialist weighed up the pros and cons and DIDN'T OPERATE. Aprilia doesn't limp and...
We too use the Hill's Prescription JD and we can tell a big difference. We also give our pups Glycoflex III. They are 10 and 17 months old. We thought our...
I know how difficult this decision is for you. I just want to throw one more story into the mix that I didn't see anyone mention. My Lab was diagnosed with...
Hi Jane, I was wondering if you knew/know how far along with the HD your pup was/is. It is good to hear from someone who decided not to operate. We do know...
Thank you for your story - and thanks to everyone else. All this is really helping us on this difficult decision. Will try that food though for sure... ... 7...
Hi! When True was diagnosed with HD they told me that it was graded on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the worse. My dogs was a 4 in one hip and a 5 in the other....
I am so glad to become a member of the group. I read all of your wonderful information prior to our TPO. Bogie, 8 mos. GSD, 86 lbs. came through "like a...
Cindy for the first two weeks or so we just went out with her and as soon as she was done going brought her back in. After that we gradually increased the...
