OK here it is it's not really a question though sorry OK i have a almost year old black lab/ rottie mix w got from a shelter and he has a MAJOR hip problem. Me and my mom(cuz im 13 and cant drive lol) took him to the vet and got x-rays and the whole 9 yards and when they came back my mom told me that like the whole ball of the hip was TOTALLY out of the hip socket or w/e and so the vet told us that they could do a surgery to like make it more comfortable for him, but it's not a hip replacement, and she kinda told me about it but i was wondering if ne body knew what it was or have had it done to one of their dogs because i am not totoally sure what it is they do and he gonna have it done the like the 21st and so i would LOVE to have some more information about it before then. Umm i can tell u that they like are gonna put the socket into the bone and it will fuse together or something like that. so i would LOVE some information on it if anybody has ANY thing to tell me i would GREATLY apperciate it. Thanx. Kelli and Rocky( rottie lab mix)
