Well, now I know why they couldn't find anything wrong. The e vet assumed it was her knee, so that's the films he took and the exam he gave. It's not. She dislocated her hip. And the grinding on the head of her femur has developed a hairline fracture. The e vet lost us the 24 hour window to do the preferred repair, of placing a screw into the joint. Now we have 2 options - FHO surgery or complete hip replacement.
TWO vets missed this. I will cut some slack to the second, who was the " re-check" but not much. She will never lay a hand on my dogs again. As for the e vet, after Mac is patched up I'm filing complaints with his licensing board and beating down the doors of everyone who has ever used him to find similar misdiagnoses.
My 8 month old baby... I can't decided if I want to cry or break things or throw up.
So, what does the forum know about FHO vs THR?
