Hip Dysplasia

My sweet Maddie turned 10 this past June and has been on pain meds for about 2 years for arthritis and hip dysplasia. We are considering FHO surgery to help relieve her discomfort. She has a lot of spunk in her. Has anyone had this done on their OES and what were the results? I have been reading that this may not work with larger dogs. Thanks!

Our Drezzie also has hip dysplasia and we did have an FHO done on her last fall. Below is the post where it was discussed:

She's doing pretty well so far, but we will never have her other hip done because the first hip wouldn't be strong enough to support her during recuperation. It has made a difference, though, and I wouldn't hesitate doing it again.
