My little boy is actually recovering from having his right hip done. He is doing pretty well, all things considered. His vet couldn't believe the rate of deterioration, and we had to operate sooner than any of us imagined we'd need to. But he's getting around almost like normal. He still holds his leg up sometimes, but I don't think it's from pain. It seems to be more habit than anything.
How long ago did your male have his surgeries? It's usually found in young ones. |
