My girl was not walking normally on her first side 5 weeks post op. She was walking on it just kind of swinging it out and not bearing weight 100% on it. She...

Awwww poor baby. I'm so sorry he is having such a rough time. Have you called the surgeon's office? Maybe his meds are not right or not enough. We had to...
My Sable had her 2nd TPO late, about 10 weeks after the first one, but I think the norm is 6 weeks apart. When she came home from the 2nd TPO she was much...
