Legg Perthes surgery is not a real invasive surgery. Your dog will probably take antibiotics and pain killers after surgery. You will need to do some stretching excercises with them also to help loosen up the leg. It will take a few weeks for them to start to use the leg and several months before they use it 100 percent. Mine was up and wanting to play the next day so I dont think they are in a whole lot of pain after surgery but you wont want them to be running and jumping and it was hard for me to keep him from doing that even after surgery. |
