I am sorry to hear about your dog. Abbie has leggs perthes and had her surgery about six weeks ago. Her scar was minimal and she bounced right back. It is very important to keep up with the physical therapy as I will help them to learn to use the leg again. Abbie will always have a slight limp but other than that she should be just fine!

We live in NJ and it cost about $2,500 for the surgery ( 80% was paid for by our pet insurance)

Good Luck
