[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1851746, member: 12607"] Hard to believe that a general companion animal practice could not reduce (replace) that dislocated hip; that doesn't require any special orthopedic equipment or expertise. I guess I'm just an old 'dinosaur', but closed reduction was a technique that every veterinary student learned, back in my day. I can't remember how many of those we put back, back in the day... and how satisfying it was when that femoral head popped back into its socket. Did they all stay in place? No, but I'll bet 90+% did, without anything more than a figure-8 bandage to hold it in while the tissues around the joint healed. If those Catahoulas showed up here, they'd be welcome to stay.
