Hi,
JaJa had Legg Perthes when she was 7 months -- she's now 7 years. The vet did a wait-and-see approach for 1 month because supposedly it sometimes can correct itself... but... she had to have surgery to remove the femural head. I was sooo freaked out.......
Good news! - after some rest, I exercised her by going up & down steps and walking on the beach. Muscle & scar tissue formed a "false/new joint". You'd never know she had lp. ( now she has luxating patellas).
I know you must be scared & upset but Everything will be fine!!!!
