I'm very sorry about Blue. My experience with this disease was with my Husky. At 6 months we had no choice it had to be surgery or put him down as it is very painful to the dog. Total hip replacement then was $4000 a hip but Ohio State Veterinary had an experimental surgery that they were having good results with that we went with. I believe that the costs were $1800 a hip, not done at the same time. One has to heal before they can do the second one. He was about 7 months for the first hip and 18 months for the second. This was 15 years ago so procedures and prices may be different now. Meeko lived until he was 13 when we had to PTS. Good Luck with your little one.
