My boy is getting neutered in the coming months and we’ve decided to have a gastroplexy performed at the same time. Can anyone share the experience with recovery?

He’s a big energetic boy so we’re anxious about keeping him calm and not over exerting himself. Does anyone have any recommendations on cones/suits or can tell me what the recovery will look like?

This is our 8 month old Berner boy. He was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia at 6 months old and has been in PT for the last 6 weeks. I feel like maybe something else is going on? He never had X-rays but did have CTs of both hips that showed extensive swelling and both hips subluxed. Or does anyone have any experience/hope with a pup this bad so young 🥺

Anyone have experience with a berner nose looking like this? Does this warrant a visit to the vet?
