A few months ago I posted about my Mylee having hip displasia. My vet wanted to play the wait and see route and give it more time. Well, in the last couple of weeks she really started going down hill fast, so we got her in for her FHO surgery. It is the same surgery for a dog with legg perthes.

She was diagnosed at spay around 6 months old. She had a follow up x-ray at 8 months, another one week ago, and her FHO surgery last Thursday at 11 months. I have heard hip displasia mentioned here, but not seen any specific posts so I thought I would share our experience since it is more commonly a large breed disease so this really took us by surprise.

Vet said her surgery went "fairly well." She seems to be doing well and tolerating her situation and pain. Then again, this poor girl has known pain most of her short life. I hope we have the same positive results as I read so often with those that have legg perthes and this surgery. I was taken back at how big the surgical scar actually ended up being.
