There is surgery. I personally would not do it. The success rate is low and is temporary. I had lengthy discussions with my vet and with the specialists and opted not to do it...and anyone who knows me knows I will do whatever it takes to help a pup. I simply felt it was too much of a risk for him..he was older and they had no real good stats to share with me.

Here is some information:
