“On August 16, Mute cried out and rushed forward, showing signs of pain in his left hind leg. A secondary clinic diagnosed a femoral neck fracture and recommended FHO. Mute’s doctor explained the option of total hip replacement and felt confident Mute was a good candidate. Mute then visited our facility and was soon scheduled for a THR. The functional recovery after THR was wonderful, and in the one-month checkup after surgery, no problems were found. Mute returned to everyday life much to the pleasure of his owner.”
