Based on how well Neville can walk and trot, surgery of the hips or elbows is not indicated as necessary and it is very unlikely he will ever need surgical intervention. It has been recommended that Neville be given joint supplements and medication to reduce pain and inflammation. Dr. Allman also recommended that Neville's new owner should reduce high impact activities, such as jumping down or rough housing, that may cause the arthritic pain in Neville's elbows to flare up.
