Relax, take a deep breath. I felt the same way. I was scared too. This is a common surgery with favorable results. My Mylee did had some unusual complications after the surgery and required a second surgery. She had bone regrowth where they cut away the femoral head, and they had to go back in and cut it away again. No doubt this did delay her rehabilitaion. She had some muscle atropy from not using her leg for so long. However, she is now going on a year post op, and doing very well and getting that muscle tone back. She runs, goes on walks, jumps up on the furniture like any normal dog. I do believe our case highly unusual but it shows you that they can still be ok even if there are some unforseen complications. I would not recommend waiting and I do agree with having a certified orthopecic surgeon.
