Every case is unique so it's not easy to compare with another dog's case.
No. Dr Ong said the surgery will ONLY correct 50% of the problem, another 50% is her whole hind leg will "cacat" for the rest of her life. The surgery is by cutting the edge of the bone so that they can connect the dislocated bone back into the joint socket. If something goes wrong, I (or they) cannot implant the bone back to reserve everything.

& again that's why I am here for a better alternative.
