And
Joekerr there are PLENTY of tripod dogs who go on walks every day.
My Hound of the Realm is now 8 years into her life with hip dysplasia. They wanted to do either total hip replacement ($8k, no movement/weight bearing for 10-12 WEEKS) or just cut the ball out of the joint ($4k, 2-4 weeks restriction on movement/weight) We chose option 3, take her home and leave her be. She hops most time, but when she gets the zoomies in the back yard, it's all paws on deck!
Cutting off the ball of the femur, and then just letting her deal with that seemed like horrible animal abuse.
