A friend of mine had a dog who had this surgery. Actually I met her at a Yorkie meetup and at the very first meet, her dog was limping and you could see he was uncomfortable. I think he was 7 or 8 months old. She took him to the vet shortly thereafter and he was diagnosed with Legges Perthes which I believe has to be confirmed with an xray. I think she said the surgery was around $800 but I know it depends on the individual vet and of course, where you live. Her boy is fine now. I've seen him several times since and I would never be able to tell he had a problem. |
