My dog got hit by a car and broke her right hind hip leg back in the summer 2018. I didn't have money to have a her hip replaced at the time. I now do have the 3-5k to get it replaced now. Is it too late to have the surgery now?

I'm really sorry to hear about your dog's accident and hope she's been managing okay since then. It's understandable to have financial concerns, and it's great that you're now able to consider surgical options for her.

Even though it's been a few years, it may not be too late for surgery. The main consideration is how your dog's hip has healed and adapted to the injury over time. It's possible that your dog has developed arthritis or compensatory issues affecting her mobility or quality of life. If she's still experiencing pain or difficulty moving, a hip replacement could potentially improve her comfort.

For now, you can support her by ensuring she's at a healthy weight, which lessens strain on her joints. Gentle exercises like controlled leash walks or swimming can also help maintain muscle strength and joint flexibility.

Watch for signs of discomfort such as limping, reluctance to move, or changes in behavior. These signs might indicate that ongoing pain or joint damage is present.

I recommend scheduling a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet. They can assess her current condition and advise whether surgery is a good option at this stage. It's a positive step toward improving her wellbeing, and you'd get tailored advice for her specific needs.
