She had literally no hip socket left and the top of her femur was spurred and grinding into her hip. He said her pain was constant. I knew he was right. BTW all x-rays where taken while completely awake. Surgery was Monday. We expect that she will heal well and be free of pain. This is not a Fix, that would take a new hip. We did FHO This is a repair. She will be able to move about pain free. May have one leg a bit shorter. |
These pups recover well after FHO surgery. I have had a few of them!
Good luck to Lily...hope her recovery goes very well.
She is lucky to have you....that surgery is so necessary when their hips are like that and the only way to really know is with an xray. I had an adult pup come to me with Legg Perthes a couple of years ago...it made me so sad for him that he had lived all his life with his leg in such condition...so painful.
