My dog has been diagnosed with-bilateral hip dysplasia. Just to confirm this is not in his knee or leg right, this is within his hip area? They also diagnosed that both of his legs in the back pop in and out--- Patellar Luxation. But I forget to ask what grade this condition is in.

Loki is only 11 months old- and surgery is what we are opting for. They will do one hip surgery and then both knees at the same time. Then 6 months letter they will do the other hips.

But I was thinking and am thinking out loud (with your guys help) what if I just wanted to do his hip surgery for now, and then see if I can naturally fix his knees with psychical therapy and all.. Please help me make a decision that allows my little bear to live a good comfortable life.

QUESTION-
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCES WITH THIS- WITH YOUR YORKIE POO?
