Hi Laura,
I found some good info on non-surgical treatments for Perthes on The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons website.

Hope this helps. It looks like the recommend anti-inflammatory meds to control pain and discomfort, and physical therapy to preserve range of motion are very important.
Good luck!
