Her owner noticed hind-limb lameness and had her evaluated. X-rays revealed a fractured hip at which time a Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) was performed. Bailey healed well and lead an active lifestyle for 4 years before pain returned. She was then referred to Dr. Dyce who confirmed she was a good candidate for Total Hip Replacement. The surgery was successful and now, at 4 years post-op and 10 years of age, Bailey acts like a young pup! She goes on 12 mile runs with no apparent pain or issues, plays fetch with reckless abandon, leaps, and jumps. Contributed by Kim McKenzie, RVT, The Ohio State University, Veterinary Medical Center
