TeriM, the gold and white sable sheltie I once had ,had one very bad hip too and the pain was most obvious when, if lying on his side for grooming, I tried to lift a hind leg to groom inside the thighs. He would cover himself up, forelegs back, hind legs forward, and so stiff you couldn't get to his belly, let alone inside the thigh. A chiropractor said that dogs like this usually have their back out and golly, after he worked on him, what a difference. The dog was totally relaxed. I see your boy visits a chiro too. Wish you luck if you operate and I hope you'd give us a blow by blow account of it all. I'm sure a lot of us are interested in such things. I have seen the stem cell therapy on TV and agree with Robyn, looks good.
