I think you will find that a lot of people on this list will recommend ACE. Go with the ACE! It was the only thing that kept my pup calm and me sane. She had a...
Hi Jay, sorry you had to join this group, but glad you've found it! You'll be amazed at how soon this will be a distant memory for you and Marley, she'll be...
Thanks to everyone for the kind & encouraging words. I too am of the mindset that the fewer drugs the better, so I will ask our doctor and wait to see how...
I added 2 pictures today of the crate and Max. I taped down that no slide stuff in his crate too so his blanket wouldn't slide around when he stood up to get...
Hi Jay & Marley, Max is almost 9 months old and has gone through both the Left and Right TPO surgeries. We will go on August 1st for his 6 week check up and...

Jay, Sorry to hear about Marley. We, too, went through right and left side TPO on our LHGSD Bogie. We are 14 wrrks out from last one and Bogie turns 1 year...
Thanks for the warning on the ACE dosages, that must have been very frightening when Bogie passed out. I guess we'll find out soon enough if the vet...
Well, Marley is now home and resting comfortably after her first TPO yesterday. She seems to be doing quite well, other than a little whimpering until she had...
Hi Jay! Marley looks like she has the luxury model for her new surroundings! Glad to hear she is doing well. The bun buns look really cute too. We used to...
Marley looks great! So glad all went well. Boy, saw that picture of her surroundings, made me remember those nights of sleeping on the floor with one hand on...
What a cutie Marley is! And didn't they do a fancy job of shaving her? Such a clean straight line of shaved fur. Loved the pic with the bunny's in it. I am...

Hi, a surgeon will be able to give you a much better idea on whether your dogs hips are a candidate for TPO or not. I wouldn't bother having any x-rays done...
Oh poor sweet Dixi, I am so sorry to hear this news. I can tell you what happened and what I did with my Dixie, and how it all played out. And I should warn...
Can I ask which insurance you are with? I am with VPI and I couldn't get anything covered, rather annoying. It would be good to know the ones that have...
If you have an ortho vet take the x-rays it will probably be Penn Hip which is what my ortho took. With both my dogs with hd they were able to diagnose and ...
