Following this thread almost two years ago where I dropped my dog off for hip surgery …

Unfortunately the implant hasn’t been successful. Tilly has never really settled with it and the implant itself is infected and the antibiotics just can’t clear it. She has spent the past two weeks unable to put any weight on it.
it was agreed the best course of action is to remove the implant.
I dropped Tilly off this morning and I’ve had a call to say its all been removed without any problems. I’ll get a call in the morning to let me know when I can collect her.
I really don’t know how this will pan out since her rear hips are so degenerated. I’m told she may walk a little odd and she will need hydrotherapy but she will not be feeling the pain she clearly has been with the implant in which is a huge bonus.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
