Momo Is Injured

Poor momo fell from a chair that I placed him... So sad :(

Doctor said his hind legs hip joint are fragile, (even a cat's hind leg joint are stronger than him) that cause his hip joint easy to get fracture or other artistry problem. His left hind leg has no muscle compare to the right one (quite obvious from the X-ray). Doctor oso said the height of the chair won't cause his femur to fracture, possible might be due to genetic condition - Legg Calve Perthes Disease.

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis

Read from article: Surgical treatment has a much higher rate of success than does medical management alone. In most cases, surgery ultimately will be necessary as the disease progresses, even if non-surgical approaches are tried first. The most common surgical procedure is a femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO), also sometimes called a femoral head and neck excision (FHNE). This involves surgically removing the head and usually the neck of the long upper thigh bone (the femur) that, together with the pelvis and surrounding cartilage, forms the hip joint. The procedure basically allows a “false joint” to form from fibrous tissue, granulation tissue and other scar tissues that fill in and replace the removed ball-and-socket joint of the affected dog’s hip.
