Yes, it's a pretty new surgery but the doctor had performed it before and had good results with a Rottweiler who had the same symptoms as Truman. Since it is so non-invasive, I figured it's better to do it now, hopefully avoid future surgery, and retain his natural hips - IF that bad hip stays in socket long enough for the JPS to work.
To respond to cali~jenn, I have to be honest, I have no idea what to expect? They will go over all the post-op care for him when I pick him up but since he basically was fixed and had his growth plate cauterized, I am guessing he's going to be walking and getting around but I know I have to be sure I do everything possible to make sure that hip stays in socket. I guess I will know more in an hour!
