Crystal, I am so sorry about your poor little puppy.
I have 7 mini-daschunds at home and one of ours had hip problems a few different times. When the episodes would come on he could not walk,hop,jump etc... his back would become hunched and he would take a step and then fall. It was very scary to hear that we may have to put him down, but thank goodness they gave him some anti-inflamatory medicine and he got better each time. Have they tried that on Jaida yet or are they rushing you into surgery?? I have known a lot of vets to try to get you to go straight into surgery to line their pockets. you may want to get a 2nd opinion and see if they can do steroid treatment/anti-inflamatory medicines first.
If you do have to do surgery just be sure he will definately recover before putting the $$ out. If he will get better with surgery than what other option do you have, pets are family and they need us to take care of them just as a baby does. Good Luck, I will be praying for you and Jaida.
