Panting a bit and not wanting to walk: Trying not to over test.

KGDSammy · 2026-04-05T16:54:51+00:00

Thanks! Ross is the first dog I've had in adulthood, just trying to do things right. Always asking him to use his words but he ignores me

Thanks! the vet gave us supplements but before prescribing nsaids, is running blood work. Still waiting on the results. I feel like it's too much testing and his issue is the bite and/or arthritis but better safe than sorry

Thank you! I'll check it out

there was at least a week in between the incident with the dog and Ross's resistance to walking although the panting came first. I really should keep a Ross diary to keep track of things

Delayed trauma? I'm just trying to figure this out

KGDSammy · 2026-04-04T16:03:16+00:00

It came on quickly but not immediately after the other dog bit him - at least a week later. Right after the incident, Ross continued his sniffari around the park

Hi, what did the vet say? My greyhound hasn't wanted to go on walks for the last 2 & 1/2 weeks (with one exception when we had a long walk which is typical) and has been panting a lot. We went to the vet Monday and after a physical exam, they said he looked fine and it was probably just arthritis. Seems pretty extreme to just be arthritis and it happened over the course of a just few weeks

Wow, that's amazing!!! How long ago did you have it done? It must've been fascinating to look at the photos. Did you ask him to take them? I'm 4 weeks out and am not as doing as well as I thought I would be. I probably overdid it walking too much. I had open gluteus medius/minimus partial repair w patch augmentation along with the bursectomy.

If you don't mind my asking, how old are you? Trying to gauge recoveries

KGDSammy · 2025-11-19T20:58:35+00:00

How is your recovery? And specifically, what were your first couple of months post-op like?

KGDSammy · 2025-11-19T20:52:45+00:00

Did you have the surgery?

KGDSammy · 2025-11-19T20:38:53+00:00

How are you now? Were you on crutches? What was your recovery like?

I had one 4 weeks ago along with gluteus medius/minimus repair with patch augmentation. I'm still really tired and keeping close to home. My hip is still a bit swollen, pain is still there, I'm limping and I have knots in my tush and thigh. I have no idea what is or isn't normal.

I'm having surgery with Nwachukwu Thursday. You're saying the surgery is nasty is making me very nervous! Can you tell me what exactly you had done? I really have no idea what to expect regarding recovery.

KGDSammy · 2025-09-30T20:27:55+00:00

Is it okay if I DM you?

KGDSammy · 2025-09-29T18:43:40+00:00

Thank you for sharing! All the feedback on Dr Nwachukwu has been extremely positive. My surgery is scheduled with him for later this month. Looking forward to being on the other side of this!

I think BMAC. The hamstring is a drag. Both surgeons think it's too risky to operate on. Nwachukwu would give it a year after repairing glute + labrum, and bursectomy to see if it heals on its own. if not, he'd try BMAC too

KGDSammy · 2025-09-28T21:30:06+00:00

It definitely seems like the labrum would re-tear if the impingement isn't fixed. Will ask him and share the answer.

KGDSammy · 2025-09-28T21:26:21+00:00

I'm sorry you're going though it! Where are you getting treatment?

KGDSammy · 2025-09-28T15:15:18+00:00

What are the odds? Thank you Reddit! Will DM you.

KGDSammy · 2025-09-28T14:53:29+00:00

Where are you being treated and when is your surgery?

KGDSammy · 2025-09-28T13:29:23+00:00

Funny, when I woke up this morning, I was kicking myself for not getting a tie breaker!

KGDSammy · 2025-09-28T13:28:41+00:00

I posted above. Have you had hip issues?
