If is the avenue of choice for your pocket book, it can be expensive. If it is caught early, our vet told us to make sure our dog got plenty of exercise. Strengthing the muscles helps keep the ball and joint closer together. Hip dysplasia can be extremely painful for dogs, so if this is your dogs problem, take him to the vet for a check up. They do have medication that will make your dogs life much more pleasent. Another answer:A few dogs i have observed with hip dysplasia have been alright without surgery, but it would be a good idea to try surgery. If the damage/pain is still low enough to where the dog does not lose its ability to walk and swim, you may think of asking a veterinarian if strengthening the leg is an option.Also:our dog takes glucosamine tablets and will be on them for practically life. It has made his life a whole lot better. the glucosamine helps to rebuild the cartilage on the ball and socket joint. i would recommend trying this before surgery.
