This morning was Barley’s last checkup with Dr. Munjar. His knee looks great, and there’s been no additional arthritic development over the last year. His left hip looks great, and he’s got a strong thigh on that side, but he’s still limping on his right, due to his thigh. The bad news is that he’ll probably need a total-hip replacement surgery someday, but that someday could be quite some time from now. He’s getting enough exercise, and isn’t limited by it, so we’re pleased with that news. We’ll be back for a checkup next year, but in the meantime, we don’t have to do another surgery this year.
If your dog needs orthopedic surgery, we highly recommend Dr. Munjar. He’s very generous with his time, and helped keep Barley “On the road.”
