One of my terriers (Lakie X Patt) had an operation yesterday, they said it was Perthes. I've not had a dog with any problems like this in the past, so I was just wondering what the chances are that he'll get decent enough use out of that leg in order for him to graft?
Has anyone else had a dog with the same problem? Did the dog go onto have a good working life?
The vet said he'll use the leg as normal once he's fully recovered from the op, but thats looking at it from a pet point of view, will he be able to cope during the season when he's out for hours grafting?
