Little Saydee had her surgery yesterday and is now home recovering. I am a little freaked out because I have been researching FHO and found out that it is considered a salvage procedure and that she may not gain full function of her leg again. I also read that it can cause issues with her patella later on. I am just hoping I made the right decision. I saw that many of you have had the same problem (Legg Perthes Disease) and have had the FHO procedure but the post were old. I need some reassurance that I did the right thing. Should I have considered a total hip replacement/partial hip replacement instead? She is not even a year yet and I want the best for her.
The vet showed me how to do the extension exercises, but I feel I need to do more to get her to her best. Does anyone have advice?
