Consequences, updates, contemplations

Nicole says he needs a foster home while he rehabs from surgery. “He is a wonderful, neutered male pup that I pulled from the Irving shelter after he had been hit by a car. We had to do a FHO surgery on him and he is still healing from that surgery. We are hopeful that he will heal completely from the procedure as he is using his leg more and more and one of our employees has done some water therapy where the swimming has helped. Mack is good with other dogs and cats. He is about a year old, has all his vaccinations, fecal, heartworm tested negative and is current on heartworm [more...]

Sidney's FHO Journey - Water Therapy!

Today it has been three weeks since Sidney had the Femoral Head Ostectomy surgery to ease the pain from hip dysplasia. He's been ok'd to start taking short walks and take water therapy sessions. We are very lucky to have a hydrotherapy location about 10 minutes from home. It is called the Total Dog Canine Swim and Fitness Center. The owner and trainer, Natalie, is an RVT with 30 years experience. She was so good with SIdney, I can't tell you how happy I was with our session today. She spoke soothingly and praised him well when he would swim. Sidney is notoriously anti-water, so I was [more...]

hip dysplasia recovery for my four month old - Rottweiler ...

Hi guys. My 4 month old Leonidas just got FHO surgery on both hips. My vet said he's expected to make a full recovery in 8 weeks. My family and I don't think this is very plausible because he's in terrible shape. The surgery took place this past Monday. He can hardly move and his legs look worse than before, especially his right leg. That leg goes sideways whenever we take him out and it almost looks as if it is broken. I know he just got the surgery but from our perception it doesn't look like that leg will ever be the same. What I'm asking is, is this normal for the surgery he [more...]

fho surgery needed and results from the vet on dog

First of all make sure that you read on the choices of surgeries if you haven't talked to your vet on that yet. I am still worried that maybe the complete hip surgery may have been the way to go for him instead of the fho surgery. He is out of pain which was my goal of course and it will never come back so I am told. But, he has such a swish still when he walks and pretty clumsy still. I know it is early yet and hopefullly these things will still take care of themselves with time and muscle growth. Just something to think about if you have a larger dog like I do.

Anyone know about hip dysplasia in a Boxer puppy?

Not all dogs do well following FHO surgery and it should be considered a clear "second choice". Hip dysplasia may not ever be eliminated by programs designed to detect it early unless some effort is made to publish the results of diagnostic tests such as the OFA evaluation or PennHIP evaluations, openly. This is the only way that breeders will be able to tell for certain what the problems have been with hip dysplasia in a dog’s ancestry. When an older dog is exhibiting signs of pain associated with this condition it is often possible to help them dramatically through medication and simple [more...]
