[Shelby&Seymour]

Shelby has had surgery on BOTH back legs. She had 3 different procedures on each. I DO highly recommend that you see an ORTHOPEDIC vet that is familiar with LP surgery. It IS worth the peace of mind having someone that specializes....... our reg vet said that he would do it...but he had only done a few of these surgeries....... and we opted to go to a specialist.
It is a LONG recovery, and very tough for a few days. I recommend that someone be home with the "patient" for a few days after surgery. Shelby needed Help with everything AND think of how difficult it would be to squat and pee when you have TWO cast-like bandages on both back legs.

But after some TLC and physical therapy....... OH my...... she is SO MUCH BETTER!!! (She had grade 3-4 and walked a bit "bow-legged" before surgery)

You can do a search and read more about Shelby's surgery....... just look back at our threads!

Good Luck to you!
