“Mojo presented with left front limb lameness. He had an ununited anconeal process which was lagged into place after an ulnar ostectomy and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Due to difficulty getting around, Mojo had his first hip replaced on 6/17/2021. Four months later, his opposite limb became lame and was therefore replaced as well. Less than a year after his second THR, Mojo covered 18 miles into the Alaska Basin in the Tetons with his owner. The hike was complicated, but despite the challenges, Mojo had no limping during, after, or the next day. They cover a lot of ground on their adventures, but always take a quiet moment to enjoy the view while thanking the SVAC Staff for helping restore Mojo to his full potential!”
