HIp replacement

Hi

As some of you already know, Tony has severe HD and he has good and bad days.. He's only two and im seeking other options to help better his quality of life. One option my vet had suggested is to have Tony get a full hip replacement.

Has anyone ever done that? I know it's expensive but i'm willing to do it since Tony's young. I just need to know if it's worth it or should I wait until he gets older?

Thanks,
laural
