Thanks for the advice. My vet conferred with an orthopedic specialist and called me today. Noba seems like the prime candidate for the Triple Pelvic Osteotomy... so after this initial three weeks of crate confinement, we are gonna talk about the possibility of doing that. We are shooting for the beginning of October. There are a few more things that need to be looked at first, but I am pretty sure this is the option I'm gonna go with. He isn't getting any exercise right now at all. I only let him out of the crate to go outside and go potty, and he stays on a short leash, walks slow, and doesn't go very far!
