Post-Op Photos and X-Rays

Karl Katzke | Hip Dysplasia, Surgery | Thursday, 29 May 2008

I visited Eo today at noon. The good news is that she’ll get to come home tomorrow in all likelihood. I took some pictures of her in the kennel, and then got Dr. Glade to put an X-ray up and let me take a picture of it.

First off on our little tour — here’s the Boonville Animal Hospital in College Station, Texas:

Inside the recovery area, — Hey, it’s an Eowyn! In a kennel! She was sitting up when I came in and pressed her nose right up against the kennel.
\"Dad, can I come home?\"

Here’s a better picture of the surgical site, with her laying down.
Post-op, showing the surgery.

And here’s the X-ray. She’s on her back in the radiograph, so it’s flipped. Eo’s left hip is where Dr. Glade is pointing on the right side of the photography. Look closely — you can see where they removed the head of the femur and cleaned the area out so that new scar tissue can form. The left side of the radiograph shows her right hip, which they didn’t touch.
