- At 10-month’s old, Oliver was diagnosed with a genetic condition called Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head which required FHO surgery (Femular Head Ostectomy)

In this video, I wanted to share the first two weeks following the FHO procedure. Oliver is still recovering, but as you can see in the video, the post-op has been pretty smooth. If your dog is about to undergo this surgery, I hope you find this useful and somewhat reassuring. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a comment down below!
Special thanks to Dr. Patrick Maguire from who performed the FHO surgery in Singapore.

🤔 What is FHO (Femular Head Ostectomy) Surgery?
By conducting FHO, the head and neck of the femur are completely removed. Though the leg muscles will initially hold the femur in place, as scar tissue develops, a “false joint” grows over time alleviating the pain and discomfort. The surgery is usually completed within hours although rehabilitation can take months.
🤔 What is Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head?
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (aka Legg-Calve-Perthes or Perthes Disease) happens when the head of the femur (the ball part of the hip joint) loses its blood supply and the bony tissue dies.
The condition is hereditary and found in small breeds (like toy poodles). Signs and symptoms often appear during the puppy phase (it can be seen as early as 9-10 months of age, like in Oliver’s case).
🤔 What are the common signs of Avascular Necrosis?
* Lameness / limping
* Reduced range of motion of the hip joint
* Decreased muscle mass
* Low motivation to exercise or play

Our little guy is having the surgery tomorrow. It's comforting to see others who went through the process. Everyone saying that you are a nervous wreck.... us too haha so you're not alone.
So moving and delightful to see a full recovery within 2 weeks!😍❤
My little dog needs this surgery. Seeing this video let’s me know it’s the right decision to make for her. Thank you for sharing!
My little four-legged son will soon get FHO surgery. He was hit by a car which caused a small bone fracture and minor bruises. The exams revealed an avascular necrosis of the femoral head. This video gave me peace of mind.
All the best with the surgery!
Thank you! 😊
I’ve just adopted a puppy that was going to be euthanised after being hit by a car and I got his this surgery. Fingers crossed his recovering is also good
My Terrier dog is having FHO surgery in 2 days. Hope he recovers as well as your sweet dog!
Hopefully it went well!
My pup gets his soon! He looks so much better already!
Thank you for sharing! My sweet boy is having this surgery in 2 days. I’m a nervous wreck. Your video makes me hopeful!
All the best!
How is your boy since the surgery doing? FHO or THR? any thoughts? my dog has FHO surgery next week and I'm toying with the idea of THR instead. 9 month old puppy identical to this video
Thank you for this
Hello thank you for sharing this video! Did you have physical therapy sessions with your pup? He healed so well.
Is their a length difference after the surgery
So dogs can walk in two weeks after surgery, is it right?
Yes but physical activities should be controlled and kept to a minimum
Hi Sir..can I have a chat with you ? It's regarding how to take care after my dog this FHO and what all exercises or physiotherapies I need to give her. Please reply
My dog had this yesterday, swimming or hydrotherapy was best recommended to me.
@@bklynsteph66 thank you so much for your valuable reply 🥰
Actually we didn't do much physio and he recovered very well by himself
So cute dog 🌼🌼👍
How did you get your dog using the surgery leg? Mine is so reluctant to use it and we are on day 13 now
He naturally did that. I guess you'll have to wait until your dog is ready and comfortable. Takes time... All the best
@@InbetweenLattes My dog took 30+ days to start using her leg, I was about to give up. FINALLY she is putting some weight on it and using it to run. So don't give up, keep working it, and massaging
it
We're on 18th day now and my BM's also reluctant to use her leg. Hoping she uses her leg anytime soon :')
the dog is cute but he looks sick
