Hope all went well - what is the plan?

Thanks - Zara had her left THR today, had a phone call that all went well.

Re spine - no surgery (or injections) recommended as apparently not bad enough to do surgery and injections may make no difference so she will be given painkillers for that.

Thanks,,,

Picking her up Friday evening.

Thats better news than you thought - thats good! Look forward to Friday!

Hello there GR,




Please feel free to PM me if I can help with any more detail of my experience of this with our dogs,

You know Zara has this condition now, and if the vet is happy to leave at present then thats great as he/she has the medical expertise to advise. There may/will come a time that this may have to be rethought I suspect, but at least you can be watching and monitoring her .

Thinking of you both
