Sadie's Story of Hip Dislocation and FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy)
Sadie, an 8 year old Terrier mix, had a dislocation (or luxation) of the left hip, which was treated with an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy). A few weeks after surgery, her owner, JP, a retired Colonel, writes:
“Dr. Zeltzman, I wish to thank you sincerely for your expertise and touch, to take care of Sadie's needs. I selected Sadie some time ago as a gift for my wife (...). One becomes cautious when seeking a new practitioner (...). This was meant to give some background on the two people you were dealing with. This was also meant to let you know how much we depended on you. Yours truly.”
