Chip is absolutely beautiful.

Finances can be such a hinderous when coming to our pets, sad but true. I completely understand.

I don't know what to tell you! The first thing that came to my mind was the stories one hears about the animals who use little carts and such when they lose their limbs.

My dad built me a ramp device to put next to my bed for my cats. My senior cat has a hard time jumping up on the bed as well as my younger cat, Chewie, who is HUGE and has hip dysplasia in his left hind leg. He also built a couple small staircases, carpeted, so they can get up on the couches and chairs with me.

Course, those only address them being able to get up and down onto my furniture.

Maybe you could find a vet who would be willing to take into consideration your financial situation and make a payment plan for you.

I don't know if these web sites will help you any, but I did search for a few about dog hip dysplasia.

Hugs and love for you and Chip! Bless his heart!

HERE is a site that lists places that help with financial hardship when it comes to pets!

These are sites that talk about hip dysplaysia in dogs.

This site says that doing the surgery is successful in more than 95% of cases.
