My German Shephard had the same thing. Took a pill daily, lived a long happy life. Good luck

Well scratch that I miss under stood her he will still have to have surgerys

Typical for German Shepards to have that. It's sad that they are prone to it.

My dog has the same thing. he never had the surgery, he takes a pill everyday and he is fine. he's 8 now and they told us when he was a puppy that he would need the surgery on both hips. they say that since dogs are pretty much born with it, they dont know any different so they cope really well

Did the pills add up to be alot of $ because the surgery is around like 2500 to 3000

it will all be worth it in the end i promise! My aunt and uncle about had to put theirs dog down cause of her hips well 6 years later she is still acting like a pup

I think i pay like $54 for 60 pills. I usually give him one a day in the summer and two a day in the winter because of his arthritis. He didnt need the pills at all til a couple years ago. i started giving him glucosamine chondroiton when we first found out about it and i think that has helped some also.

Well he seems to be doin good on these pain pills so far I here him cry at night once or twice for a sec but I think its because there wearing off because when we give him one in morning hes the happiest puppy ever :) but he seems to be doing great
