I agree with shodanusmc, those are good prices.
My Tinkerbelle hads Legg Perths and had her femoral head removed at 6 months. We started water therapy in the tub the week of the surgery. She was walking the day after and did just great. The only time you would ever suspect something is different is if you watch her run around a corner - she runs sideways for a couple of steps before her rear end catches up with her.
She did just fine after the surgery. I think your little one will do just as well. Good luck!
