I received the procedure estimate in the mail today.
The exact term of the procedure is Femoral Head & Neck Ostectomy K9
Total cost is $912.03, not too bad, I can handle that.
Not sure if this is the same deal you guys are speaking of though??
Here's a pic of our little girl.

Femoral head and neck ostectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries for canine hip dysplasia. Femoral head and neck ostectomy involves surgically removing the head and neck of the femur, effectively removing the ball portion of the ball-and-socket joint which makes up the normal hip joint.
Following removal of the head and neck of the femur, a false joint forms and eventually becomes less painful for the dog than the deformed hip joint in its original state.
