Thanks for the encouragement. It is heart wrenching to watch him and he deserves a fair shot. We have struggled because it is a lot of money but we figure he...
We had a rescue with HD and I had the unlucky fortune to get a puppy from a reputable breeder that had HD as well. Even the best breeders can come up with HD...
Hi, My one-year-old puppy, Looshie, had 2 TPO surgeries. It has been 5 months since his second one. He is still delicate and gets stiff and sore particularly...
I would call the surgeon. My boy is 6 1/2 months out of TPO #2 (and had the surgeries pretty close together...3 1/2 weeks apart.) He runs around like a nut...
Carrie, My girl had two TPO's done last year. The first way Memorial Day weekend and the 2nd was 5 weeks later in July. After her 2nd post op final exam the...
Hi! Yes, Looshie takes Cosequin. I called the surgeon and he told me to give Loosh 1 aspirin in the morning and 1 at night and if he's not a lot better in a...
Make sure you check his pads. My one rescue dog started limping cronically off and on and I was convinced that I had ANOTHER hd dog!! Well, turns out he had a...

Have any of you had dogs that could not have the TPO? The vet we saw today (he is on the board for the Orthopedic vets...) said our 6 month old GR basically...
Sorry to hear your dog has bad hips. Know how that is unfortunately. Yes, I have heard that there is not enough of a socket to warrant doing a TPO which is why...
Huey is an English mastiff. He is 4 yrs old and had 2 tpos when he was a puppy. And actually, although 170lbs sounds big, one of the things I do to help him...
My dog Kingston was in a similar situation. The surgeon said one side had arthritis too far developed for a TPO and the other side was only a fair to good...
