Simon update: his left hip is broken this time, same place as the right one was. Our vet feels it is something called femoral head and neck metaphyseal osteopathy and is pretty confident that he will be able to walk after another FHO surgery, and that we shouldn’t see any further problems. Of course we’ve been terrified that he has some sort of brittle bone disease and is going to break something every time he sneezes, but Dr. Manley says that these cases are not uncommon and usually other bones are unaffected. Poor Simon goes in for surgery again tomorrow, and we are hoping for the best.
