Kimber came to us with double hip dysplasia. Due to this, we elected to have a double pelvic osteotomy surgery performed on both sides of his hips. Unfortunately, Kimber had complications and suffered pelvic fractures on both sides of his hips post-surgery. Due to this, he went in for a second surgery two days later. Again, complications came up, and Kimber suffered from a MRSA-type of infection in his hip implants. Therefore, the decision was made to remove those. While the implants were removed, there was enough time before this for the bone to regrow. Therefore, the hip dysplasia was cured. He has been adopted into his furever home and is doing great!
