my dog fife had his hip done when he was 9 months old at the Univ of pennsylvania, one of the best if not the best vet hospital in the country, they told me it was never caused by an injury it was always genetic, same as his collapsed trachea, nothing I did could have caused it, nothing I did could have prevented it. I think the price the OP got was also a great price, I paid 3200 for his surgery, he also had to have both of his knees dont at a later time, also genetic... my poor dog had it all g4 lux p , legg perthes and a collapsed trachea, but he was the best dog and always so happy no matter how sick he was. I hope your dogs surgery goes well, fife was supposed to stay in the hospital 3 days after 2 thry called me and said pick him up he is going to hurt himself in his cage., I took him home he was on pain meds maybe 5 days at the most, no patches or anything like that. I started to put him in my tub the floowing week and he did great 20 laps one way 20 laps the other way. |
