One of my Golden Retriever (Tiger) was diagnosed with hip dysplasia (BOTH HIPS), I found it out when he was 6 months old, a very early stage. Tiger didn’t really shown anyof the symptom to me until I sent him for a full body check up included xtray for his hips. cause I always put a lot of concern into each of my furkids especially their growing stage.
I was so upset after I got the news. I went for 2nd opinion and I have done a lot of research about the surgery (triple pelvic osteotomy). Finally I hadadgree the surgery to be done by Dr. Yeoh (he is one of the top veterinary orthopaedic specialist in M’sia).
1st hip surgery was done around age of 7 months old of Tiger, 2nd hip done after 2 months of the 1st surgery.
Estimation surgery cost: RM3000 - RM3500 for 1 hip

Tiger 2nd barkday celebration~~
I'm a handsome and healthy boy:))
The toughest job was after surgery, I was extra double taking care of Tiger.
After his 1st surgery done, I was sleeping on the couch with him for about 10months.
The reason was, I got to prevent him climbing the stairs up and down, I doesn'twant to take any risk, it might delay his progress of healing. Well~~~ thosedays are past now.....
Tiger, he knows in those days he had been taken care of me. (now he onlystick to me not his daddy…. lolz) I had given so much of time, money,effort.... but I don't mind at all.... I just wish all my furkids stay happyand healthy forever and ever~
THANKS FOR THE IRRESPONSIBLE BREEDER for giving the experience of painful disease of hip dysplasia to TIGER!
I found out my friend's Golden Retriever (we got it from the same pet shop -name: Petsmore ) also diagnosed the same disease!!!
I have checked both of their cert!! they got same ancestors!!!
I SWEAR I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANYMORE DOGS AGAIN!! I WOULD RATHER ADOPT ONE, and I DID!
