Treating a Dog's Hip Dysplasia

I have a 9 year old dog with what we think is hip dysplasia and a small growth on her behind. Are there any medications I could give her for the pain besides glucosamine?

You need to have hip X-Rays taken to actually diagnose what is wrong with her hips and you should certainly have that growth looked at by a Veterinarian. She is probably in some pain so I would take her ASAP. Good luck.

My Border Collie has severe hip dysplasia. The recommended surgery is excision (they cut the ball from the top of the femur). Has anyone out there had a similar procedure done on their larger dog?
