Even if they are not limping and they do have LP, damage is being done, you can't go and fix it to be all good once you get to a certain point.
I agree!
I rather to take care of this problem sooner than later.
It just seems like it cause her discomfort. I can't imagine mysef having my knees popping in and out. , so I don't think that she enjoys it either
And since she is so young, than she she shouldn't have any problems with recovery.
