  I am sorry you got this news on your baby.  My 7mo old was recently diagnosed with the same hip condition.  Had I known she had this prior to getting her, I think my decision would have been different.  I do feel guilty for feeling this way, but I had just spent the last 10 years caring for another dog with a chronic hip condition (but different issue altogether), so my emotions are at play here knowing what may be in store for the future.  My vet did say we would play the wait and see game and that surgery may or may not be needed.  Of course, now that I have her, I cannot imagine not having her and I will do what ever it takes to make her happy and comfortable.  You will make the decision that is right for you, and you have gotten a lot of good advice here to consider.
