Quite a few people on here have yorkies with LPs. Some have had surgery and some have not. Morgan has LPs but they are low grade. I started giving her Missing Link plus with glucosamine to hopefully prevent it from getting any worse.
I work for a veterinary orthopedic surgeon and we do knee surgeries every day. Little dogs do wonderfully after this type of surgery. If your dogs knee is already popping out it is possible that he will need the surgery done eventually, and sorry to say, your vet will probably recommend getting both done at the same time.
