An Enduring Bond: Echo's Story

Matt and Cindy were shocked when their playful puppy Echo was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and needed to have invasive surgery just before her first birthday. Unsure of what to expect, they embarked on a two-and-a-half-year journey that included left and right total hip replacement surgery and knee surgery at Veterinary Surgical Centers (VSC) Vienna with Dr. Anke Langenbach and a comprehensive rehabilitation program after each procedure with the team at VSC Rehabilitation Vienna. They were at Echo’s side every step of the way, adjusting their daily and family life to accomodate her needs and providing all of the necessary cheerleading to get her back on her feet–er, paws.

In February of this year, Matt and Cindy sat down with us to talk about their experience, and Echo was on hand to show off just how fabulous life can be without chronic pain and mobility issues.
