FHO surgery
 

Noah is having FHO (Femoral head osteoectomy) surgery today. :( A couple of month ago my fiance rolled over on him and he hadn't been walking right ever since. I took him to the local vet and they said that he may or may not need to surgery since he was so small. I didn't like the uncertainty of that answer so I took him elsewhere, where they confirmed breakage in the femoral head and that surgery would be necessary. I am very nervous about this. The vet said that they would call me with any complications or if he thought additional ACL surgery would be needed today as well. I was just wondering if anybody else had experience with this type of procedure to ease my mind.
Pray for my fur-baby! :aimeeyork

Sorry to hear about this happening so many freaky things do happen.. I never heard about this. Good luck and Noah will be in my prayers. Keep us posted...

I do not know anything about this procedure. I hope everything goes well today. Keep us posed as I know the day will be difficult for you. We all suffer the pain along with you. There are unbelievable outcomes from the prayers on this board so know that we are all praying for you and your furbaby. :heart to

Pease keep us posted. These little ones are actually really tough guys. My prayers are with you.

I hope everything goes well,,, I'm sure they know what they are doing, let us know when the surgery is over.

I'll pray for your little one .

Noah is doing just fine!
 

I called the vet today at 2:30pm, and they told me that Noah did just fine. :D Dr. Mulch said that Noah's knee was just fine and that nothing needed to be done with it. He also said that his hip was exactly as he had predicted so the procedure was textbook for him. They told me that Noah had just gotten out of surgery only an hour before I had called, so he was still a little groggy. They told me that he was a little cold from the anesthesia and that one of the girls from the front desk were sitting with him and holding him. I was very pleased to hear that my baby was being taken care so well. The vet also told me that they went ahead and pulled Noah's baby teeth at no additional charge since he had adult teeth grown in aleady and they were just going to cause problems. I am so pleased with this vet clinic. The fact that I got to talk directly with the man that performed the surgery, and that he told me Noah was going to be perfectly fine just made my day. I pick him up tomorrow around 2:30pm (central time). I will keep everybody posted on Noah's recovery on a different Thread since this is for emergencies only and I don't think I would consider this to be an emergency any longer. I will down load pictures so you all can see how he is healing, and so everybody can have a good understanding of the process just in case the unfortunate happens to any of you as well. thanks for you prayers and concerns!

Im glad that all went well. Sending hugs his way. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

my guish...I am happy for you. I wish my 2 would get that kind of care with our vet. It does indeed make you feel a whole lot better about it. keep the update dates comming in. Bless his little heart. My grandson's name is Noah also.

Just saw your post! I am so thankful that little Noah is doing well. We will keep him in our prayers for a speedy recovery!

So glad little Noah is doing ok. Sound like you had a great Vet. It would be so nice if more Vets were like that...Sherry

It's great that he is doing so well and I'm glad you found a dr you can trust and a clinic that takes wonderful care of him. Tomorrow night little Noah will be home with Mommie. :p

Hi, How is your little guy doing today? I hope everything is great. Actually my little guy, Frankie, goes in Monday for the same surgery and I am so scared. Can you please keep us posted. After Monday we can exchange notes. Email me if you like.
