Yes, unfortunately. The vet tried to put the hip back, and broke her leg in the process. Then (we think) he tried to cover it up by saying it was broken in the first place and he just didn't notice the additional fracture. Surgery was the only option and there was no way we could afford it; basically, he talked us out of euthanizing her and told us to take her home, that she wasn't in that much pain, and would learn how to hop around. We took her home while trying to decide what to do. A few days later, we took her to a Bubbles n Blessings animal shelter fund raiser at our church. The pastor blessed her and we prayed for her. Two days later she was dead; we found her in her cage with her waterer and fan both knocked over...it was VERY hot, so she died from the heat, probably, but it was an unusual set of circumstances. Anyway, in your case if that's what it is I know that many animals will develop a very good artificial joint, and can eventually walk pretty well despite that kind of injury. But if you're going to try to have a vet put the hip back, do it soon, because the longer you wait, the harder it becomes, til it becomes impossible..
