Can someone help me with my English Bulldog Mack. He is 6 years old and been having problems with his hips for a good 4 months now. He has been diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia and the Vet wanted to do the FHO surgery. I had never heard of it before and had a hard time believing his muscles could hold the bone in place. He weighs 84 pounds and the Vet suggested to loose about 10 pounds prior to the procedure. The articles I have been reading are pretty much on dogs were are puppies or young. I also feed him Blue and have been for for about 8 months now mainly for his skin, which has helped, but not his dysplasia. I am not at peace about this surgery because of his age and weight and would love to have some feedback to help me go in the right direction. He will be 7 in November. He currently is really having a hard time getting up and we hate seeing him this way.
