You live in Iowa, so I would call the vet school at Iowa State and talk to a bunch of the instructors there. I've had real good success with them coming up with solutions when my local vet couldn't solve the problem. Good luck getting it fixed.

This is a very good suggestion. Pretty clear that the dog's lifespan will be affected eventually if you don't get it fixed.
