| Help Vote to achieve LP Surgery I have to face a reality soon, the reality of putting Jazzie through an LP surgery. She does not limp, whine, she runs, jumps and walks just fine but the fact is according to the vet, and orthopedic vet she is a level 3 LP. The cost of the surgery is about 2,000, both legs. The breeder said she would help with some of the cost, but now that I sent her the vets papers confirming the diagnosis, she is giving me the silent treatment. So I am selling some items, trying to find ways to make the money for this surgery. I found this site offering a prize which would help a bit, so if you could please take a few minutes to vote, I will be VERY Grateful. Please pass it along to friends, family. Thanks very much. http://www.petanim.com/competition-entries

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | We voted. Very cute. So does she have any symptoms? I don't know much about how LP is diagnosed, but I'd consider getting another opinion just to be sure.

| Hi, thanks so very much, just writing about her having LP and needing surgery brings me to tears. I know it has to be done but oooh my gosh, she is such a cuddly bug and I don't want her to be in pain from the surgery, I've read other peoples recoveries and my heart gets squished. I'm trying to work my way to the fact that she needs the surgery, everything will be ok, at this moment it still seems scarry. The orthopedic surgeon said its good to have it done between 10 months to a yr. Jazzie is 9 months already. Thanks again, she may not be the winner but at least we tried and your support is encouraging. Thanks.

But on the PLUS side, Roxy is such a different girl. I thought she was ok then, her only symptoms were that she did this 'skip' thing when she walked, which I always thought was just cute, until I found out that was LP We waitied a few months to have her surgery, but when I made the appt. it was b/c she started to limp quite often Anyway, what I am trying to say is that it will be ok, and if you think she is good now, oh boy, just wait until her legs are fixed, that's when you will realize...'hey, she really did need that surgery' | |

| Hi, when I got her she was 4 months old, I had read about diabetes, all other things but not enough about lp to realize that the popping I was feeling while holding her was LP. The breeder knew but failed to tell me, so when I took her to the vet for her first checkup he told me, she had a level 3. I mentioned it to the breeder and she told me, yes, she seems to have the lp but she with exercise, diet, she will grow out of it. I put all my faith in that and walk her 2x a day... denial. The whole lp diagnosis still bugged my mind so I took her to an orthopedic vet surgeon, and he said, her legs have strengthened but the part that covers the knee is to one side, it remains this way all of the time. I'm telling you she jumps, runs, walks, fine. She has not whimpered as if in pain but there you go, 2 vets already gave me the same diagnosis.
