    hi, my 5 yr old springer couldnt put his paw on the ground yesterday eve and was the same this morning so i rang the vet. she did an x-ray on him and said he needs a hip replacement. thank god for pet insurance...

    i'm looking for some one who has a dog, cat etc that has gone through this procedure, just to put my mind at rest please as i a little nervous about it.

    No help to you I'm afraid but I'm watching with interest as one of our guys is perhaps facing this in the future.
