I've just had a call from the vet. Yes he'd dislocated his hip again, so they're going to operate and 'snip off' part of the joint to stop it from happening again. The operation is a femoral head and neck excision which sounds awful to me but the vet said it was quite common and he should regain normal mobility after he recovers, which will take about 2 months. They're doing the op now and I've got to call back in a couple of hours to get an update.
* UPDATE *
Just called the vet and the op was a complete success. He's just coming round and I can go and pick him up tonight *yay*
