I"m sorry that Logan has a bad hip. If i were you i'd get a femoral head ostectomy (FHO). this is the removal of the femoral head. Its easier on them if their muscles haven't atrophied so much. its a simple procedure that takes 1/2 an hour for a good specialist. the recovery is easy and exercise is encouraged (not crazy exercise but walking).
