Hip Replacement Ohio State opinions
First of all, thank you for sharing health information about your pets.
Background:
We have a three year old german shepherd. Around christmas of this
year she stopped going up stairs. After a week or so we took her in to
the vet. The vet tried a pain med (sorry can't remember the name). He
does not tend to over treat. He said they could do an exray but they
would have to sedate her....
The following weekend her mobility really went down hill and we want to
bring her in immediately. Another vet looked at her and took an exray
from above (they didnt lay her on her back and rotate her legs). He
noticed hip dysplasia in her right hip (not severe) and her other hip
looked fine. He was tended to try to push the treatment of the Femeral
Head Removal, but my research shows that its meant for dogs under 40
lbs. Our dog is in the 65-70lb range.
Getting to the point:
Does anyone have any good or bad stories about Ohio State total hip
replacement?
Success rates? Recovery times? Service at Ohio State?
I've read alot about Ohio state but have not heard any actual comments
from a patient's owner. The issue for us is that we must be prepared
to make a decision based upon their evaluation. My understanding is
that you make an appointment. Then they do an analysis, exray, etc.
Then perform the surgery the next day. It makes sense because people
come from all over the country.
Please share any information you have about the Ohio State total hip
replacement.
Thanks
