I was just reading through this thread and I wondered if anyone could give me some advice. My vet who is the surgeon too told me that Lola needs to have lp surgery. I had her spayed last week and he took the xrays while she was under to make sure there wasnt any abnormalities and see if one was worse the other. He said the right is much worse and if I do the surgery that one should be done first.
So anyways more question is should I let her have the surgery. She doesn't show any signs of pain the only thing is her back in a little humped over and they said that was from her knees hurting her. She never picks her legs up or does anything out of the ordinary. She is almost 17 months old. He said the reason she isn't showing any signs of it hurting her is bc she has had it for so long probably that she has just gotten use to it. I have only had her for a couple of months. I just don't know what to do. Before I have the surgery I want to make sure its worth it, bc it is going to be hard for me to afford right now. If it is something that really needs to be done I am going to do it. He made it sound like it really needs to be done, but I just don't know. I don't want it to cause her pain later in life. I want to for her what is best. Thanks, sorry for such a long post. |
