Laser therapy didn't help him even a little, and he's really degenerating faster than anyone could have expected. We are going to have to do surgery sooner, rather than later. Thankfully, our vet is willing to take payments, and told me not to let the financial end stop us from doing what Zacchie needs. He's such a great friend and doctor!
I admit, I am more than a little afraid about the FHO, as it seems rather barbaric. Dr. Tim is going to be putting in an implant, rather than letting the ligaments do the job. I am actually glad he's planning that. So he'll have a prosthetic femoral head.
