My 3-year-old pit bull mix has skin issues and a grain allergy. She has been showing signs of hip dysplasia, such as lazy sitting, difficulty walking on hard floors, jumping on beds or couches, and sensitivity to touch in her rear legs. She has trouble walking up/down stairs and jumping in/out of the car. She sits with her legs off to the side and is in pain, especially during winter. What can I do to help her, especially if I can't afford expensive procedures or medications?

My 4-year-old English Bulldog, Gatsby, was limping and diagnosed with a torn CCL by a vet who recommended a $4,000 surgery. I am waiting for a second opinion from my regular vet. How can I be sure the surgery is really necessary, and can a torn CCL be diagnosed through X-rays?
