  1. If the diagnosis is correct, the IM assuming the 'bleeding in the spine' means a fibrocartilagenous embolism - a tiny clot in the spinal cord. This condition is sudden onset, typically not painful for the dog. There is no veterinary treatment for this - only rehabilitation will help your pet improve. But it does require typically a CT scan for an accurate diagnosis to make sure there is no disc prolapse. This has to be perform med by a veterinary surgical specialist How quickly the dogs recover depends on severity of signs at the outset. Typically if your pet is walking already by 3 weeks post incident then return to function should be almost if not 100%, but should certainly have some physio exercises to perform at home. How is he currently?
  2. Generally if the hip pops out after the first episode of relocation, then its not typically successful on a second attempt. It may require a toggle pin as mentioned above, but if the structures around the acetabulum (cup of the hip) are too severely damaged then a femoral head and neck excision is often required (cutting the ball off the hip joint) Recovery from this can vary from patient to patient and also depends on the skill of the surgeon. Typically need lots of rehabilitation after this Good luck
