Hi,
I don't know much about hip displasia, but would any sort of brace
help? Cody tore the ligaments in his hind leg this summer and he isn't a
candidate for surgery because of his age and fear of any vet clinic (he works
himself into a grand mal seizure).
I got a brace for him and it is wonderful. He can go out and keep an
eye on his property. Without the brace, we couldn't let him outside of a
contained area because of the risk of running or chasing something and doing
more damage to the knee or blowing the other one.
I got the brace from Canadian Animal Rehab Services, which is in
Ontario. But, she can do everything by mail. It is all custom made.

I'm so happy that I researched this and gave Cody his quality of life
back. He takes an anti-inflammatory once a day and pain med twice a
day. All this seems to be holding him well and I know I can keep him with
me longer.
