I'm sorry to hear this. My dog had both conditions also. I would consult directly with a ortho surgeon for my dog. You don't new your vet to be a middleman if you have a specialty hospital nearby. You want a surgeon who is a diplomat of the ACVS. Not all perthes dogs need surgery. If your vet saw my dog's X-rays they'd think he needed surgery but the specialist says he doesn't.
