“10-month old Hugo was presented with lameness and had been taking pain medication every day, but still showed significant signs of discomfort. A total hip replacement was suggested and agreed upon by his owners. Post-op evaluations at 2 months, and 1.5 years showed marked improvement. His owners reported at 2.5 years Hugo has a normal gait, does not take any medication for pain, and now enjoys running and jumping.”
