Hi toby had it done last December and you would hardly know now! I think he was using it normally within 3 or 4 months. Was 9 months when he had op. Had hydro therapy for a few months and is doing great now. Recovery is amazing!

Hi. So sorry your baby needed this surgery. It's great she did well. Your vet should give you detailed instructions on how to manage her through her recovery. You will need to confine her and walk her, your vet should give you specifics of how , how long and what to watch for.

I'll keep her in my prayers for a speedy recovery...

I'm glad to hear the surgery went well. Sending her some get well hugs. Thanks for the update!

Hoping that today is a good day for Farrah! Sometimes it does take a little time for them to start using their leg again after surgery, but these pups do very well with FHOs. Will look forward to hearing further updates.
As for her hip dysplasia, hopefully that will not cause problems in the future. I have a pup who had deformed hind legs and had surgery on one of his knees....it did not affect the hip dysplasia that he has in both hips. The orthopedic vet I use told me that hip dysplasia often does not affect them too much due to their small size. I hope that will be the case with little Farrah.

Hey fellow Long Islander - I just wanted to wish you all the best with your beautiful puppy. I hope her life from this point forward is much more happier and healthier.

Thanks Everyone! I thought I'd give a little update since it has been a couple of days. She is putting a little weight on her leg and is eating like a mad woman! LOL
She is wagging her tail and seems much happier already. Of course we cannot begin her walking therapy for a couple of weeks but I'm happy to see what she is comfortable with at this point. It appears very promising.
Enjoy the day All. : )
