My father in law had a German shepherd with hip dispasia and his local vet helped a lot.Putting the dog on herbal tablets made a lot of improvement . Can't remember what they were called now.The vet in question was Willeys in Upminster. Hall lane I think.The dog had another good two three years life before it got too bad. He even made the dog a wheeled board to put her back legs on so she could Oh! it has just come to me FEVERFEW was the tablets and they worked.

I'm very surprised your own vet couldn't recommend anyone. Did you ask him/her?
