Hip dysplasia in labs need advice from the experienced

Before I considered surgical options that I had only researched online I'd have a discussion with my vet (maybe you've already done this?), and probably try less invasive measures first. Things that can be tried include:

An oral joint supplement (glucosamine/chondroitin)

Fish oil (given in high enough doses it acts as an anti-inflammatory)

NSAIDs (Rimadyl, etc.)

Adequan (an injectible form of glucosamine; I've seen it work wonders on dogs with hip dysplasia)

Good luck!
