I think sometimes we're so emotional when we take our babies to the vet that we forget WE ARE PAYING THAT VET'S SALARY. In other words, he works for me. That said, would you keep a subordinate on the payroll if they did things you felt unscrupulous? I think not. I, too, however, am older and wiser (not to mention a bit bitchy!!).
As for the LP, my first rescue had a pretty good one and I just left it alone. He did fine and actually was pretty cute to watch from behind when he was running; his little right leg would kick out. He lived to be approximately 17 and that was the least of his worries. If it gets to the point where it's painful, then consider surgery.
Best of luck to you and your baby. |
