total hip replacement surgury

I am searching for folks whose dogs have had total hip replacement surgury due to severe dysplasia. My cousin's dog was recently diagnosed, and he plans to take Lucy to Penn for the surgury.


We would like to hear about your dog's experience.

Our dog has had both hips done now, the last one was done 5 weeks ago. He is only 1 year old, and is doing sooooo well. I highly recommend it to anyone who can afford it. We had insurance luckily. Parker had the non-cement kind done, where the post goes right into the middle of the femur and the bone grows around it to secure it.

We live in Canada and it was done at an amazing Animal Hospital in Vancouver
Parker is a Bernese Mountain Dog, but the surgury should be the same. I have a blog set up about it at:

I know there is a really good orthopedic place in Langhorne, PA which I believe is connected to U of Penn. I believe there are a couple of people on this forum who have had this done with a lot of success. Hopefully they will chime in.
