and that is the just amount of the fho surgery done for a dog the size of a golden retriever, that had hip dysplasia so bad that their surgery was an easy one because the bones weren't attached well, so they could reach it easy without chiseling to do what needed to be done.

Now, don't forget that you really should have a dog therapist at least come out to your house one time to show you what to do. That is an added cost as well, but worth it if you want your dog to heal the very best that he can.
If affordable, then you can certainly have therapy done a few times a week for a few weeks or as needed...
all things to consider and plan for, my problem was that i was given a clean bill of health when we got him so we didn't have time to save up money and plan for it at all.
