Has anyone on the list gone through a hip replacement and recovery with GSDs? I?m scheduled to have one in early September. My girl, Mimi, will stay with Jamie Walker while I?m in hospital, but I?m interested in any post-hospital stay advice I can get. My doc said it would be 6 weeks before I could walk her. I have several friends who?ve offered to walk her, but I know it won?t be ever day. She?s 2 ½ and gets the ?zoomies? when she gets too much pent up energy. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.
