Tripawd Talk Radio – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Tripawds Podcast Episode #132: In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mauricio Dujowich (aka: Dr. Dujo) — board-certified veterinary surgeon, certified canine rehab therapist, and founder of the Bone, Joint & Spine Center at The Veterinary Referral Center (VRCCO) in Bend, Oregon. 

Join us for a talk about what truly helps three-legged dogs and cats thrive.

Dr. Dujo explains why rehab matters, how pet parents can protect their Tripawd’s remaining limbs, and what groundbreaking surgeries like total hip replacement in amputee pets are making possible today.

Key Takeaways

• Rehab is a game-changer for Tripawds recovering from surgery or managing long-term mobility.
• Keep weight down and build muscle — the simplest and most powerful way to protect remaining limbs.
• Supplements aren’t a cure-all; Omega-3s and Adequan are Dr. Dujo’s top evidence-supported choices.
• Yes, amputee pets can be candidates for major orthopedic surgeries like total hip replacement.
• Pet parent involvement is everything: activity control, safe recovery spaces, and consistent follow-through matter most.
